Butter Chicken
The best butter chicken you'll ever bite into. Seriously. It's delish! Very easy to make too. I made a few modifications to suit our tastes which are noted below.
1 ounce butter
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 large boneless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup fresh cream
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
Saute onion and garlic in butter. Slice chicken breasts into bite sized pieces. Combine spices and salt and toss chicken pieces until well coated. Saute the chicken each side until golden brown.
Stir in the cream and tomato paste. Cover pan and simmer for about 10 minutes until cooked through. Sprinkle with garam masala.
MODIFICATIONS: I did 1/2 tsp. cinnamon and 1/2 tsp. cayenne to make it a little more fiery than sweet. The spice was perfect for our liking. We also wanted some extra sauce to dip our naan bread in so I did 1 c. of cream and 1 1/4 tablespoons of tomato paste.
