Butter chicken recipe...


Butter chicken is one of my favorite recipes and I cook it very very frequently. I always thought that it was very difficult to prepare butter chicken. But once I came to know the recipe, it is just like a clap of hand. You too will feel the same once you go through this recipe of butter chicken. Remember to serve it hot, because colder chicken never tastes good.

Ingredients::

3 tablespoons of butter
1 Onion
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons crushed garlic
2 teaspoons crushed ginger
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
2 teaspoons chilli powder
1 tablespoon of cariander
400gms skinless, boneless chicken breast
1/2 cup ground almonds
225 gms peeled tomatoes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 cup unsweetened yoghurt

Preparation::

* Trim and cut the chicken into small cubes.
* Slice the onions into thin wedges, just like long thin slices.
* Heat a large fry pan and melt 3 tablespoons of butter until it is foamy.
* Add the onions and cinnamon to the pan and fry lightly.
* When the onions are soft stir in the crushed garlic and ginger.
* Add the turmeric, chilli and coriander and stir over a medium heat.
* Add the cubed chicken and keep stirring constantly until the chicken has turned white.
* Pour in the ground almonds, tomatoes and tomato paste and mix thoroughly.
* Cover and simmer for 20 To 30 minutes.
* Add the yoghurt and heat through.

Or you can just try one more thing. while you are cooking the regular chicken, just add some tomato paste and a quarter pack of Butter chicken masala from any famous brand. You will have the color as well.
