Butter Chicken
I was planning to post the rest of the payasam recipes that I have collected over the years. However, I managed to make the best Butter chicken after a long time. We had a bbq on sunday and there were few left over tandoori chicken. No I don't make my own tandoori marinade.. I use Patak's.. If any of you have the perfect tandoori recipe, do post it..
Some of my fellow bloggers have asked me why I never post the pictures.. Simple..By the time I get the camera ready, my kids would have finished the food!
This is my Butter chicken recipe
Tandoori chicken pieces: 500 gms.( cubed and deboned)
Butter:4 tbl spn
oil: 2 tbl spn
Cream: 100 ml
Coriander leaves to garnish
Blend all of the following together along with 1/2 cup water
Tomatoes in can: 1/2 can..(I used heinz chunky tomatoes)
Onion: 2. peel and cut in to chunks
Ginger: 1 1/2 inch piece..peel and cut in to small chunks
Green chilli:4
Kashmiri Chilli powder:2 tbl spn
Cumin powder:1/2 t spn
Garam Masala: 1 tspn
Heat the butter and oil together( so the butter won't burn).. when it is hot, add the blended stuff and keep stirring till the oil floats on top. You may need to top up the water as you cook. When the oil floats, add the cubed boneless meat..boil for another 5 mints. Take it from fire, add the cream and garnish with coriander.. It is simply superb..

hey I just got back to the recipe section.I am going to make this with paneer in this week.let's see.I'll tell you how it turns out :)
I remember my grandmother used to make chakka(jackfruit) payasam.
I really like that and I like pradhaman which is yummy.
Sarah,i tried this with paneer...yesterday night.but I always encounter a problem when i blend tomato,onion,ginger....it always gives me a bitter tasting curry when I cook.this is not the first time it has happened to me....oh yeah i added two flakes of garlic to it...would have that made it taste funny.I cooked it alot also to get rid of that raw taste but it didn't completely go away.so i added some sugar which kind of balanced it out....hahahah yes,I am born disaster in the kitchen hee hee
Try adding a bit of cashewnut or almond paste to the gravy. Not for the weight watchers though. Check out some of the Best Butter Chicken Recipes on my Squidoo lens.
