Anjali's Ultimate Butter Chicken
Recipe by Anjali Pathak
Serves – 4
Prep Time – 5 mins
Cook Time – 35 mins
Ingredients
2 tbs Jalna Organic Biodynamic Dairy Yoghurt
½ jar Patak's Butter Chicken Curry Paste
4 skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into large bite-sized pieces
2 tbs butter
1 tsp oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 tsp sweet smoked paprika powder
¼ cup tomato puree
¼ cup passata
⅔ cup cream
Fresh coriander, roughly chopped, for garnish
Method
In a bowl, mix together the Greek yoghurt and 2 tbsp of the Butter Chicken Paste. Add the chicken pieces and coat well. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
The next day, heat a BBQ or griddle pan until smoking hot. Cook the marinated chicken until charred on all sides, then remove from the heat and brush with a little butter.
Meanwhile, prepare the Butter Chicken sauce by gently heating the oil with the remaining butter in a saucepan. Add the chopped onion and fry for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the remaining Butter Chicken Paste, sweet smoked paprika, and 100ml of water. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Next, stir in the tomato puree, passata, cream, and 150ml of water. Allow the sauce to simmer for 15 minutes.
