Butter Chicken
This is a Chef recipe and is one of the easiest Indian curries to make. The Butter Chicken Sauce is so good that you will want it on tap!
Ingredients
MARINADE
1/2 cup plain yoghurt , full fat
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp tumeric powder
2 tsp garam masala (Note 1)
1/2 tsp chilli powder or cayenne pepper powder (Note 2)
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tbsp ginger, freshly grated
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1.5 lb / 750 g chicken thigh fillets, cut into bite size pieces
CURRY
2 tbsp (30 g) ghee or butter, OR 1 tbsp vegetable oil (Note 3)
1 cup tomato passata (aka tomato puree) (Note 4)
1 cup heavy / thickened cream (Note 5)
1 tbsp sugar
1 1/4 tsp salt
TO SERVE
Basmati or other Rice
Coriander/cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Optional blitz: for an extra smooth sauce, combine the Marinade ingredients (except the chicken) in a food processor and blend until smooth. (I do not do this)
Marinade: Combine the Marinade ingredients with the chicken in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or up to 24 hours (minimum 3 hrs).
Cook chicken: Heat the ghee (butter or oil) over high heat in a large fry pan. Take the chicken out of the Marinade but do not wipe or shake off the marinade from the chicken (but don't pour the Marinade left in the bowl into the fry pan).
