CHICKEN BUTTER MASALA

I like chicken and Gagan likes mutton so there is always a tiff there, thus I alternate between both for the sake of peace!, last time I made mutton curry so this time around, chicken was on the cards!


So here people... a really fab chicken curry with the subtle hint of butter to tease your taste buds!...it was really divine with fresh boiled rice and a crunchy green salad, will definitely be making this many times over!


Ingredients-



  • Fresh chicken- 1 cut into 8 pcs

  • Onions-2 large (ground with little or no water in the blender)

  • Ginger+garlic paste-1 tsp each

  • Tomatoes- 2-3 large pureed

  • Garam masala-1 tsp

  • Green chilli-1 sliced

  • Butter- 50 gms

  • Refined oil for shallow frying.

  • Cumin-1/2 tsp

  • Cayenne pepper(deggi mirch)-1/2 tsp


Method-


Fry the chicken a few pieces at a time in the refined oil, keep aside.Take a heavy bottom pan and fry the onion paste in butter on a slow flame till brown add ginger,garlic and the spices and the tomatoes+green chilli, fry for 15-20 minutes till the masala leaves oil as well as sides of the pan, next add about 2 cups water and the chicken pieces, season with salt , cover and cook for atleast 15 minutes more, serve hot.
