Ingredients
- 500 gm chicken
- 2 large size onions
- 1inch ginger
- 10 grams Dry red chili
- 30 gm cashew nuts
- 2-2 1/2 tablespoons yogurt
- 50 gm butter
- 50 gm oil
Steps
- To make butter chicken, I will take 500 grams of chicken, 2 large size onions, which I will slice well and I will take two medium-size garlic, 1-inch ginger, 10 grams Dry red chili, 30 g of cashew nuts, I should have pasted all these well. You also need butter, green chilis, sugar, turmeric, salt, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and yogurt and at last coriander for garnishing.
- In this full procedure, I have used half and half, which means half oil and half butter. Now I will marinate the chicken with salt and turmeric powder then will fry for 5 minutes.
- When butter will melt, I will fry two cardamoms in oil for a few seconds so that the smell of cardamom comes out well. Now I will add chopped onion and fry it well so that the raw smell of onion goes away and the onion becomes soft.
- Then, I will add green chilies, as the addition of green chilies reduces the sharpness of chilis to a great extent. I am also adding salt to it. I will give salt in one go. If you want it later, then you can give salt according to your taste.
- Now I will add the paste here, that I had just made, and will stir for 3 minutes at medium flame. There is no need to cover it right now.
- When the spices have fried well, now add the chicken. I will mix the chicken very well with spices, and I will give the remaining spices one by one here. Half teaspoon coriander powder, I will give very little turmeric here, so, half a teaspoon turmeric powder, half a teaspoon cumin powder.
- I will give less red chili powder here as the chilis added before, just for color half a teaspoon red chili powder, 2 or 2.5 tablespoons of yogurt, I will also add a little sugar here to reduce the tanginess, if you like sweet you can add cream. I do not like butter chicken so sweet, I will not give cream right now.
- After mixing it well, add a little water so that it did not burn at the bottom. Now, I will cook it for 10 minutes and after 10 minutes it will be ready. Butter chicken is ready, and I can take it on a plate.
- Now I will add a little butter and a little chopped coriander. You can eat it with rice, roti, paratha, or with anyone, it is very tasty and yummy.
