Butter Chicken


Butter chicken was my introduction to Indian cuisine, some 17-18 years ago. I bought ready made sauce (jarred, from supermarket), and cooked it at home. I tried many brands and some recipes over the years; some of them good, some not so good. Here is one directly from India (slightly adapted) from a lady that I follow
 Original recipe on Vimitha's blog.

Ingredients:
Marinade-
500-600 g chicken meat , preferably with bones

1/4 cup yogurt
1/2 tsp garlic, crushed
1/2 tsp ginger, grated
1/2 tsp chilli powder
salt and pepper
Sauce-
1 tbs ghee
1 tbs butter (or oil)
1/2 tsp cumin seeds powder
1 onion, chopped or grated
1/2 tsp ginger, grated
1/2 tsp garlic, crushed
1/2 tsp Garam masala
1/2 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp Fenugreek powder
3/4 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup water 
2-3 tbs cream
salt and pepper to taste
1-2 tbs coriander leaves, chopped
Method:
Mix all ingredients for marinade; set aside for 30 minutes +. Preheat your oven (or grill) and bake for 10 minutes on high.
Heat ghee and butter in a pan, add cumin seeds and fry for a few seconds, then add onion to saute. When translucent, add garlic and ginger and mix well. Place meat onto it, then add all other spices, water and tomato paste. Cook for 20 minutes then mix in cream. Season to taste and garnish with coriander leaves. Serve with rice or any Indian bread.





Butter Chicken

'Puter piletina' je bilo moje prvo Indijsko jelo koje sam probala, prije  nekih 17-18 godina. Kupila sam gotov umak (u tegli iz supermarketa) i skuhala ga kod kuce. Tokom godina sam isprobala mnoge verzije i recepte; neke od njih dobre, neke bas i ne. Evo jednog recepta (malo adaptiranog) direktno iz Indije , od gospodje koju slijedim.
