Quick Butter Chicken
Creamy, mildly spiced tomato curry — India's most beloved export. Cooking the tomato sauce down properly before adding the cream is what gives butter chicken its deep colour and silky finish, not just a pink tint.
Ingredients
Instructions
Marinate the chicken briefly.
Cook in a hot pan until sealed and lightly coloured on the outside, then set aside.
Simmer the crushed tomatoes with the garam masala and butter for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until reduced and deeply coloured.
Stir in the cream and the chicken and simmer for 10 minutes until the sauce turns silky and the chicken is cooked through.
