    RECIPE
    ------
    CHICKEN + MARINADE
    2lbs or 1 kilo boneless/skinless chicken thighs
    20g or 3 1/2 tsp salt
    10g or about 3 cloves minced garlic
    10g or about 2Tbsp minced ginger
    20g or 1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
    3g or 1tsp fenugreek (or garam masala if you can't find it)
    10g or 3 3/4 tsp kashmiri chili powder (or 3 to 1 paprika to cayenne if you can't find it)
    200g or 3/4c greek yogurt
    Combine chicken with ingredients above, rubbing marinade all over to cover chicken. Cover and refrigerate for 30min to marinate.
    Preheat over to 450F/232C. Line sheet tray with foil and place chicken on tray. Load into oven and bake for about 15min. Align tray under oven broiler and broil on high until they're beginning to crisp around edges. Flip each piece of chicken to the back side and return to broil until side 2 is beginning to char and take on color. Allow to rest before cutting in to about 1.5" chunks.
    SAUCE:
    30g/3-4 glugs of olive oil
    150g or 1 medium onion (small diced)
    50g or about 1 poblano (seeded and small diced)
    large pinch salt
    10g or about 2Tbsp minced ginger
    10g or about 3 cloves minced garlic
    5g or 2.5tsp garam masala
    5g or 2.5tsp turmeric
    5g or 2.5tsp cumin
    5g or 2.5tsp coriander
    5g or 2.5tsp kashmiri chili powder
    10g or 1 3/4tsp salt
    165g or 6oz tomato paste (1 small can)
    425g or 1 3/4c water
    10g or 2 1/3tsp sugar
    210g or 1c heavy cream
    50g or 3Tbsp unsalted butter
    Preheat medium saucepan over med-high heat. Add oil, onion, poblano and salt. Stir and allow to soften for 6 min or so. Add ginger and garlic. Stir and allow to cook for about 60 more seconds. Add spices and allow to cook for 60-90 seconds until fragrant. Add tomato paste, stir, and allow to bloom for about a minute. Stir in water until paste dissolves into water and mix comes to a simmer. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 min
    Once sauce has been cooking for 20min add in sugar and cream. Stir to combine. Add butter and stir to combine. Pulse with immersion blender until smooth.
    Fold chopped chicken into the sauce.
    RICE:
    300g or 1 1/2c rice
    425g or 1 3/4c water
    8g salt
    A big chunk of butter...2tbsp or so
    I typically use a rice cooker for ease, but if you don't have one, cook using package instructions.
    GARNISH:
    Yogurt sauce (combine 100g or 1/2c greek yogurt + 100g or 1/2c heavy cream + 3g or 1/2tsp salt. stir until smooth)
    Cilantro
    To serve, place rice on plate or bowl, top with butter chicken and garnish with yogurt sauce and cilantro.

I'm sure this is next level delicious! Keep them coming, please!

    Good job on showcasing your passion and not to mention expertise in making a classic North-Indian dish. Usually, the marinade is done overnight not only to fully soak in the flavors but also to tenderize the meat just enough to make it melt in your mouth when cooked right. Also one of the expensive yet healthy variants is to use raw cashews ground well to a paste as a thickener/creamer which is considered the "ROYAL"😋 recipe

  • @kiru4802

      Thanks! I did try cashews in batches 1 and 2, I found those made it too gloppy/ the richness stopped the dish from tasting buttery.

The curry part turned out pretty good too although I think it would have been better if my spices weren't so old. Oh, and a tip for everyone, don't be tempted to skip placing foil on the baking sheet. At 450 degrees and then the broiler, any marinade will be very stuck to your pan. I made sure I sealed the two foil sheets together so nothing would leak through and it made cleanup much easier. Thanks for the great video Bri... :-)

    Yo Bri guy, never been really familiar with Indian style food but I've made this a couple times already and it's a banger of a recipe. Got a pot simmering on the stove while I write this :)
    Sidenote, this recipe is totally doable with chicken breast too. Just cut them down into chicken thigh-sized pieces and marinate them. For cooking I throw them straight under the broiler with the oven rack as close as you can get to the heating element. Broil for 6-12 minutes, checking often (time depends on your oven, if you have a crappy electric oven like I do it'll take closer to 12 minutes). Use a thermometer to check doneness (shoot for 165ish), and keep the oven door cracked to let steam out, really helps develop the char.

    This was absolutely delicious!
    Unfortunately, as I am a UK resident, canned tomato paste is pretty much non-existent here, however you can buy concentrated tomato puree in a tube, which I believe is the same thing and has the same consistency.
    What I didn't read was that the tube I bought was double concentrated, so my final sauce outcome had a big tomato soup style flavour to it, but it was incredibly smooth, deep, silky and spicy!
    All in all a fantastic dish I will be cooking very often but next time, I'll half the amount of tomato paste :)

    First time making Indian food. I might have eaten Indian food once in my life. The dish was a hit in my home. What a flavor! Thanks for sharing your talents with the world!!!

    I made the sauce last night for dinner. Soooo good!!! My husband is vegetarian, so I made it with roasted veggies instead of chicken. One of the few vegetarian recipes I have made where I don't long for meat. (One of the other ones is your falafel recipe) Love your channel. I look forward to every video.

    Indian food is my favorite cuisine. Would love to see some Rogan Josh with a nice bit of lamb.

      I prefer him on a bed of rice, you're going too heavy on the protein. Rogan Josh is gamey and adding more gamey meat along with him would be overkill.

    Suggestion: bunny chow. Seriously, this is an Indian-South-African dish that's a very popular street food there, and which is really delicious and easy to make. I fell in love with it when I made it. And no, it doesn't have any bunnies in it - it's made with chicken, beef or lamb. Honestly, try it! And you being the master RUclips chef you are, you would make one bangin' bunny chow.

    Hey, yo Bri! This is the second recipe you haven’t steered me wrong on. I’ve made the one pot spaghetti twice and this butter chicken was AMAZING! The flavor was hitting from a million different directions! My new morning ritual consists of going on RUclips and looking for new videos from this channel. Keep it going!

    I like to make yoghurt marinated chicken on a rotisserie, you get the charred surface and the meat stays really juicy. Been making similar chicken in my wood fired oven on proper kebab skewers (more like swords actually), and it's all kinds of awesome. Thanks for another great recipe, will try it of course!

    Try frying the trimmed-off chicken fat on medium low heat, then use that liquefied fat as substitute for butter when you cook the rice.
    Yummy.

    I made this dish tonight for the first time and it was AMAZING. This dish was saucy perfection. I’ve been afraid to cook Indian food at home because it always seemed out of reach for me. This turned out so great.
    Definitely going to put the tandoori-ish chicken in the weekly rotaish as well.
    Thank you so much for all of your amazing videos. My husband and I love your content! ❤

    U should add both fenugreek and garam masala in the marinade then add some chilli powder too for the heat and some lime juice, amchur powder (raw mango powder), mustard oil, some turmeric, coriander seed powder and toasted ground cumin. Then heat 2 pieces of charcoal and put in a small bowl and then put it in the marinade bowl and add some oil on the charcoal and immediately cover with lid and leave it for 3 hrs

    I am going to definitely try this... I like the technique of pre-cooking the chicken through and then searing... Though I'd recommend finishing with dried Fenugreek leaves which is what the best Indian spot around here does.

  • @bradphillis9304

    My favorite Indian dish to cook at home is Biriyani. So delicious! This looks really amazing too! I love using my broiler in the oven. It is great for chicken, beef and fish. If I do fettuccine Alfredo then I broil the chicken to try to get that crispness.

  • @shahadataziz1277

    the reason to marinade tandoori chicken for longer is that the enzymes in yogurt help tenderize the chicken very well.

    Instead of fenugreek powder, might I recommend using dried fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi) instead? the difference is the same as using powdered oregano (is there even such a thing?) versus dried oregano. Also, Kashmiri chilli powder should be mild compared to other red chilli powders such as hot paprika. Kashmiri chilli is mainly used for its color rather than heat.

    • @its_hokori
      @its_hokori 3 года назад

      not even the hot paprika, you know the x-hot chilli powder (that brands like shan and desi have). That shit hits different, complete different tier of head compared to these other powders

    • @seb0rn739
      @seb0rn739 2 года назад +1

      Fenugreek seeds and leaves taste completely different and are used for different things. They should not be used interchangeably. I was pretty confused why he used the seeds in the marinade, as it should be made with garam masala. The seeds usually aren't part of this dish at all. As a guy, who has a northern Indian girlfriend quite a bit of experience with Indian food, this is the first recipe for this dish that I saw that includes fenugreek seeds. I was also confused why he didn't add fenugreek LEAVES to the gravy since they are actually an essential ingredient.

      @@BrianLagerstrom For anyone else reading, I had to do the subs of garam masala and paprika/cayenne, and I ran out of greek yogurt (!) so subbed sour cream for it in the topping sauce. Grilled the chicken. Still awesome. I think the immersion blender is a real pro move -- the thick, creamy consistency of the sauce was, in my opinion, much better than not doing it.

    We like to use coconut milk rather than cream, for 2 main reasons 1] we rarely have fresh cream, unless it is for a planned special meal 2] we just like the flavour and we do have cans or cartons hanging about because they are shelf stable. For those who have lactose intolerance, coconut milk will allow you to make these dishes and others, not an ideal solution but there never is. Thank you for the recipe and ideas. take care. God bless one and all.

    Very good recipe. Easy to follow, doesn't require a lot of kitchenware (the preparation takes a bit of time the first time when you plan what you need and when and prepare it ahead of time not to mess anything due to rushing). I had no idea what the veggie in the sauce was (have never heard of it) so I replaced it with red bell pepper and worked fine. I also don't have a blender so I diced the onion and bell pepper as fine as I could and it was fine as well. You get small spots of color and feel as if you had veggies with your sauce. This is the first time that home cooked food by me tasted like I remembered the ethnic restaurant food taste like.
    A tiny notion that I wouldn't use 3 grams of salt in the garnish, it was very salty (obviously you don't notice that in the mix, but the others already have plenty of salt, even when I left the salt out of rice albeit I used salted butter for the recipe). Also this might be fun, even though maybe not appropriate for the meal theme, to try and replace with tzatziki. You just get added garlic flavor and a bit of cucumber to top it off.
