Each year for Thanksgiving my family always has a traditional sit down turkey lunch and dinner this is one of the three holidays that we celebrate together and take time to cook up some of the most yummiest meals. Each year I have a tradition of making all the appetizers and desserts. Spinach dip, potato salad, and the sweets are always up to me. Not to mention I love to cook and bake! We also have a tradition of having butter chicken, since it is more on the heavier side eating this dish once a year does not hurt :D . Below I have shared with you all my families "secret" recipe for butter chicken. Happy Thanksgiving ALL!
My Families SECRET Recipe to
Butter Chicken!
Ingredients
-1 tablespoon of chili powder
- 1/4 shallots of onion (finely cut up)
- 1 squeeze of lemon (for tangy taste)
-1 teaspoon of garlic paste
-1 tablespoon of olive oil
-1 packet of chicken breasts (cut up breasts into fine small pieces)
-1 teaspoon of garam masala
-1 teaspoon of ground cumin
-1/4 teaspoons of cayenne pepper
-2 pinches of salt and pepper
-1 packet of Indian butter (Makni)
-1 one packet of yogurt
-1 tablespoon of cornstarch
- 1 cup tomato sause
Preparation
When preparing the butter chicken. First, take a pot and put 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the whole stick of the Indian butter. Along goes the lemon juice, ginger paste, garam masala, chili powder, and cumin. Then she gets the onions and mixes it until it gets golden brown, get the fine cut chicken and mixes all the ingredients together. Wait for about ten minutes to put in the yogurt. When it begins to get thick, she puts in the cornstarch, so the consistency can get a little more gravy like. Cook for about 15 mins and your butter chicken should look like a nice gravy, beautiful orange like color.
Preferably eat with Nan, roti, or Jasmine rice.
ENJOY!!!!!!
