@vernahungrybanana: I made butter chicken for the first time!!! // Back from India, it felt right to finally start cooking Indian cuisine - something that I’ve always felt intimidated by, so I thought I’d share a little around why I’ve felt this way. I guess this is probably also how people feel when they first take on Chinese or East Asian cuisine? So if that’s you, I hope you find inspiration in trying something new and embracing all the mistakes you make along the way! — The following recipe is adapted from a number of butter chicken recipes I read online with everything I had at home without buying new ingredients. Ingredients: For marinating: - 750g chicken thigh fillets, cut into large chunks - 1 tbsp grated ginger - 1 tbsp grated garlic - 3 tbsps natural yogurt - 1 tbsp lemon juice - 1 tbsp garam masala - 1 tsp chilli powder - 1 tsp ground turmeric - 1 tsp ground cumin - 1/2 tsp salt For the sauce - 1 heaped tbsp ghee or butter - 1 large onion, finely diced - 2 cloves garlic, finely minced - 1 tsp cumin seeds - 1 tsp garam masala - 1 tsp chilli powder - 5 tbsp tomato paste - 300ml double cream - 1/2 tbsp lemon juice Instructions: 1. Marinate the diced chicken in all the ingredients for at least 1 hour - I did this overnight. 2. Fry off the chicken for 7-8 minutes, then add the spices, onion, garlic and cook for a few more minutes. 3. Add in the tomato paste and cream and mix through. Let this simmer on a low heat for 15-20 mins. More salt to taste if needed. 4. Mix through the lemon juice towards the end when you’re ready to serve, and garnish with a little more cream and fresh coriander. 5. Serve with rice, naan or roti. P.s. For freshly made naan, see the following recipe video! #indian #foodtiktok #FoodTok #chicken #curry #cooking
