Eat at home as if you just stepped out for dinner....
This
dish is a favorite in the Brainy Gourmet kitchen. Why? Because it is so simple. Butter Chicken (Murgh Makhani) is one of the most popular curries in the world and the easiest to make at home because the ingredients are not hard to find.
Basically, all you will need are: skinless/boneless chicken breasts, onion, garlic, heavy cream/plain
yogurt, tomato paste, a couple of tasty spices such as cumin, coriander
and paprika and also some dried herbs like mint and rosemary.
Melt
on med heat in a deep skillet 2 tbs of olive oil and 1/2 stick of
butter. Next, saute in the oil and butter whole one chopped onion and
one
glove garlic until browned, then add cubed chicken breast meat, continue
to cook on med heat.
To this add 1 cup of heavy cream, 1/4 cup of yogurt, one small can of tomato paste and your spices/herbs (using as much as you like; recommending 1 tsp of each). Cover and let simmer on low (30-40min) while you prepare sides. My family likes to eat this with potatoes and or buckwheat groats. You can also serve as a side a hearty dark green winter squash which is really nice baked and then mix with mashed potatoes... one way to get the kids to eat a good for them vegetable medley.
