You’ll need chicken, butter, cream, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, and spices like garam masala, cumin, and turmeric. Simple yet delicious!
Marinate your chicken in yogurt, lemon juice, and spices. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to tenderize and absorb all the flavors.
In a pan, sauté garlic, ginger, and onion in butter until golden. This creates a rich, flavorful base for the sauce.
Add pureed tomatoes, cumin, garam masala, and chili powder to the pan. Let it simmer to create a flavorful, aromatic sauce.
Add the marinated chicken pieces to the pan. Cook until the chicken is tender and fully cooked, soaking up the sauce.
Stir in butter and heavy cream to give the dish its signature creamy texture. Let it simmer for a few more minutes to thicken.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with naan or rice. Your rich, creamy Butter Chicken is ready to enjoy!
