  • Ingredients:
    Chicken (boneless, skinless), 500g
    Ginger Garlic Paste, 2 tablespoons
    Yoghurt, 1/2 cup
    Lemon Juice, 2 tablespoons
    Kashmiri Chilli Powder, 1 tablespoon
    Butter, 4 tablespoons
    Cardamom Pods, 3-4
    Cinnamon Stick, 1 inch
    Onion, finely chopped, 1 large
    Garam Masala, 1 teaspoon
    Fenugreek Leaves (Kasuri Methi), 1 tablespoon
    Tomato Puree, 1 cup
    Cream, 1/4 cup
    Salt, to taste
    Pepper, to taste
    Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix the chicken pieces with ginger garlic paste, yoghurt, lemon juice, and Kashmiri chilli powder. Cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to an hour in the refrigerator.
    Prepare the Sauce: In a pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add cardamom pods and cinnamon stick to infuse the butter with flavor. Then add finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
    Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the pan with the onions. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally. This should take about 10-12 minutes.
    Add Spices: Once the chicken is cooked, add garam masala and fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi) to the pan. Stir well to combine and let the spices cook for a minute or two to release their flavors.
    Add Tomato Puree: Pour in the tomato puree and mix it well with the chicken and spices. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
    Finish with Cream and Butter: Stir in the cream and remaining butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the butter chicken simmer for another 2-3 minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.
    Serve: Once the butter chicken is done, remove it from the heat. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh coriander leaves if desired. Serve hot with rice, naan, or your favorite Indian bread.
    Enjoy your homemade butter chicken!
