Butter Chicken

I’ve been a bit inspired by my mum’s cooking blog (that doesn’t get updated very often) to put some of my recipes online occasionally.

It saves trying to write them down in a book somewhere to keep track of them.

Today’s recipe is for Butter Chicken – my Butter Chicken Recipe is deceptive – it contains no butter.

Ingredients

1. 2 tins of Tomato Soup
2. 1 medium size tub of natural yoghurt
3. 1 dollop of cream
4. 2 tablespoons almond meal
5. 2 tablespoons garam masala
6. 1 tablespoon turmeric
7. 2 tablespoons Hungarian sweet paprika
8. 1 tablespoon cumin
9. Curry powder (to taste – I used about a table spoon)
10. 2 teaspoons of coriander
11. Chicken (I used about 4 thighs – but this could probably be safely increased)
12. Onions

Method

1. Combine tomato soup and yoghurt in a pot on low heat, add almond meal and spices, stir.
2. Brown the onions in a separate saucepan/wok, add the chicken (cut into chunks) on medium heat.
3. Once the chicken has started to seal add the sauce.
4. As the sauce starts to bubble add the cream, stir in. Cover.
5. Simmer on medium heat with a lid for 30-40 minutes.

Serve with rice and naan/roti/flat bread of some description/pappadams.
