Finally the post of my delicious chicken butter masala is here!
A small backstory about my own chicken butter masala recipe. M and I went to an Indian restaurant (M is Indian), and I can’t have such strong food due to me having gallstones. It was pretty spicy, but I could eat it. I was hooked on this dish and couldn’t wait to have it the next time.
At home, I had to do it! I had to master the art of making my own Chicken Butter Masala dish.
I had to think differently, though. My son. With him being selective on food and stuff, I had to adjust the recipe, but oh my god, how good it was! Honestly, better than the restaurants 😅
I added my own ingredients in it for myself but had a separate pot for my son (who doesn’t eat mushrooms and onions).
Pictures above show what I used and so on.
Ingredients
1 Yellow Onion
2-3 pieces of chicken breasts
5 – 10 Mushrooms (depending how much you want)
5DL cooking cream (I prefer the one from Lidl)
1/2 teaspoon Ginger & Garlic paste
Spices
Garam Masala, Haldi (Turmeric), Black Pepper, Fries spices
How-to step-by-step
1. Start by cutting the onions and mushrooms and adding them to separate bowls.
2. Cut the chicken into pieces and put them in a separate bowl.
3. Add the spices to the chicken and mix around.
4. Fry the onions till they are golden. Use extra butter when frying
5. Add the onions back to the bowl
6. Take the butter the onions were fried in and add it back to the frying pan.
7. Add the mushrooms and fry until golden in color.
8. Add them also back to their bowl
9. Use the butter from the onion and mushroom and fry the chicken.
10. Add more spices to the chicken while frying to have the flavor you wish for. The heat.
After you have fried the chicken, you add the onions into the pan and stir around. Add cooking cream (2.5 dl) and stir around. Here comes the fun part! Add more spices into the pan and stir around. Taste each time you add to find your perfect flavor.
Let it cook for 15 minutes on medium-high and lower the heat to medium-low for another 10 minutes. Add the mushrooms when there are 10 minutes left.
Serve with rice & tortilla/naan bread.
