CHICKEN BUTTER MASALA Filed under ( Chicken and Mutton, Dals/Gravies and Curries )

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.
