Directions to prepare Butter Chicken

Preparation:

It is preferable to take boneless chicken, though I prefer chicken with bones; so I picked up with bones for my Butter Chicken recipe. Chop the ginger and garlic into tiny pieces. Chop slices of onion. Make tomato puree of the fresh tomatoes.

Cooking:

To the wok add oil and let it heat. Now add the chicken pieces, chopped ginger, chopped garlic, 1/2 cup fresh cream and saute till chicken is 80 percent done. Remove the chicken on a tissue paper and keep aside.

Now to the remaining oil, add onion and saute till pinkish in color. Add lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, chili powder, cumin powder, bay leaf and cook for 2 minutes. Add tomato puree and cook for nearly 4-5 minutes. Add remaining cream and yogurt and mix well. Add salt to taste and black pepper and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Now add the chicken pieces saute at the beginning to the sauce and cook for another 4-5 minutes, covered with a lid.

You are now ready to serve hot and yummy butter chicken with nan, tandoori roti, or jeera rice.
