Butter Chicken

Ingredients :

500 gram boneless chicken ( cut into 1 inch cubes)
1 whole lemon ( juice)
1 tablespoon red chili powder
1 cup yoghurt
2 teaspoon ginger
2 teaspoon garlic
1.5 teaspoon tandoori masala
3 tablespoon butter
2 whole cardamoms
1 stick cinnamon
2 whole cloves
4 whole medium ripe tomatoes (blended)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon dried fenugreek leaves
250 millilitres thick cream
1 stalk coriander
1 pinch Salt

Instructions:

Marinate the chicken cubes in lemon juice, salt, chili powder, yogurt, ginger, garlic and tandoori powder for at least half an hour. Overnight is best. Preheat the oven to the highest grill setting.

Place the chicken on a baking tray closest to the grill and grill for at least 10 minute on each side or until cooked. Allow the chicken to cook until it JUST starts to char.

To prepare the gravy, heat and melt the butter. Add to it the the cardamoms, cinnamon sticks and cloves. Stir fry for a minute before adding the tomatoes and tomato paste,

Let this simmer on low to medium heat, half covered, for about 15-20 minutes. You will notice the gravy thicken and the oil will form a film on top. If the gravy is too thick, you can add a small amount of water.

Add the rest of the ingredients as well as the grilled chicken and simmer for another 15 minutes. Garnish with butter or coriander.

Enjoy & Start Cooking!
