BBC Good Food has created a delicious at-home interpretation of an Indian classic; yes, I'm talking about butter chicken.
While butter chicken is a dish we would normally order in from a restaurant, this recipe proves that it can easily be made from the comfort of your own kitchen.
The recipe achieves the signature rich flavor by mixing ginger, chilies, garlic and coriander stalks into a paste form. Next, add ghee and onions into a saucepan, and allow them to simmer until they are perfectly caramelized. The aforementioned paste is then added to the saucepan, creating a fragrant sauce that will be the heart and soul of this dish. Add water and tomatoes and boil. Finish by stirring in yogurt, cream and additional seasoning. Serve with chicken!
