Butter Chicken Recipe
1/2 kg Chicken (Cut into pieces)
2 medium to large Onions
½ Tin chopped tomato tin (purified in a blender)
Ginger Paste
Garlic Paste
MDH Butter Chicken Masala or any other brand will do
Cooking oil (Mustard oil taste better)
1/2 Cup Fresh Cream or Yogurt
How to go about it?!
Wash the chicken pieces and keep them aside.
Cut onions into small
square pieces,
Add some cooking oil (Mustard
oil) in a pan heat it. Add onion pieces and cook for 1-2 minutes. Then sprinkle the MDH butter chicken Masala over the onions lightly. Remember sprinkle it only
and cook on medium to high
heat for 2 minutes.
Please note there should be
enough cooking oil in the pan to start with a good indication is the oil should
cover the onion pieces half from the bottom while the onions are spread out
into the pan. If there is not enough oil you can add a little while you put the
chopped onions.
Add ginger and garlic paste and cook for a few
minutes on medium heat and keep stirring.
Once the onions are golden
brown in colour add
the chopped chicken. Stir well and again sprinkle the MDH Butter chicken Masala to cover the chicken chopped chicken lightly on the
top. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes and turn it and lightly sprinkle the butter
chicken Masala again. Now let the chicken cook on
medium to high heat for 22 to 25min. Keep stirring
every so often so as not to stick to the pan.
Now add the tomato puree
and let it cook for further 5minutes.
Make sure the gravy
has completely mixed well with the chicken. Do not add water.
Now add the Yogurt and
taste the gravy. If the gravy is spicy add a little more Yogurt ¼ cup
and keep doing so until it claims down the spice or according to your taste
Please make sure once you
have added the Yogurt or the cream stir well to mix all contents evenly and
turn down the heat to low/medium. Every time you add the yogurt or the cream
mix well and then try the gravy before you add any more. A lot of cream or
yogurt is not good as well and for ½ kilo Chicken 400ml yogurt is the
maximum one should put otherwise this would spoil the taste.
Enjoy your chicken with
some rice or hot nan bread /
