Indian dishes are loved around the globe due to their impeccable and sweet taste. So, Marleina Broadhurst provides you with the best recipe to make the proper Indian butter chicken.
Ingredients
* 1 cup of butter cubes
* 1 minced onion
* 1 tablespoon of minced garlic
* 1 (15 ounces) of canned tomato sauce
* 3 cups of heavy cream
* 2 teaspoons of salt
* 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
* 1 teaspoon garam masala
* 500 grams of boneless chicken breast (cut into bite-sized chunks)
* 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
* 2 tablespoons of tandoori masala
As many asked about nuts, please note that cashews or almonds are a modern addition to thicken the sauce, especially for tourists, yet, the authentic recipe from Indian Murgh Makhany has no nuts.
Method
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion and garlic. Then, cook slowly for about 15 minutes until the onion caramelizes to a dark brown.
Combine cream, tomato sauce, remaining butter, salt, cayenne pepper, and garam masala in a saucepan over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and leave it for another 30 minutes, stirring once in a while.
Stir in caramelized onions and when the sauce is simmering, toss chicken with vegetable oil until coated. Season with tandoori masala and spread out onto a baking sheet.
Bake chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center for nearly 12 minutes. Add the cooked chicken to the sauce and simmer for 5 minutes before serving.
