Tonight was my turn to make supper, so I've decided to make Butter Chicken. This recipe I got from good friends a while back. It is really easy to make and it is super tasty! I want to share this awesome experience with you.
For 4 people you will need the following:
3tbsp Butter
2tbsp Butter Chicken mixed spice (available at shops)
1 Sliced onion
400g Chicken breast (sliced)
1 small tin of tomato puree
1 regular size can of tomatoes (400g)
125 ml cream
1 tsp garlic (or 2 ;))
125 ml white wine
- Soute the onion and spices with the butter until the onions turn soft and kindoff see-through. *The spices gets added with the onions so that all the flavour of the spices gets absorbed by the onions.
- Add the chicken and tomato puree and let it fry for a while.
- Add the can of tomatoes and the white wine. *The wine is for taste and to make a sauce of the browning caused by the chicken and onions from the bottom of the pan.
- Add the garlic.* You can add more if you want to keep the mosquitoes away!
- Let the chicken mixture simmer for about 10 min.
- Lastly add the cream. Let it simmer on low heat until the sauce is nice and thick. *Stir occasionally to prevent the sauce to burn or stick on the bottom of the pan.
Pesto! There you have Butter Chicken!
I usually make couscous with it while others prefer naan bread, which is also nice. As another side dish I use vegies. You can make oven baked veg or boiled veg, which ever way you prefer it.
Remember to always taste your food as you are making it, that is how you get the best results. :)
