Butter Chicken–Murgh Makhani

Ingredients

Chicken Tandoori

Makhani Gravy
2 Tbsp Ghee
1 Medium Red Onion, chopped
4 Medium Ripe Tomatoes, chopped
1 tsp Sea Salt
1 ½ tsp Garlic Paste
1 ½ tsp Ginger Paste
1 Tbsp Garam Masala Powder
1 tsp Cumin Powder
2 Tbsp Butter
½ Cup Fresh Cream

Garnish
2 Green Chilies, seeded and chopped
1 Tbsp Fresh Coriander Leaves, chopped
1 Tbsp Fresh Cream

Method

In a large pan over moderate heat, add the ghee and sauté the onion until soft for about 1 minute.

Add the tomatoes and salt and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the oil floats to the surface.

Mix in the garlic paste, ginger paste, and all the spice powders. Give it a quick stir and add in the chicken. Cook the chicken for about 3 to 4 minutes, to coat the chicken evenly with the tomatoes mixture.

Then add the butter and stir until it melts. Pour in the cream, give it a quick stir and remove the pan from the heat. Garnish with green chilies, coriander leaves and a swirl of cream, if desired.
