BUTTER CHICKEN

Ingredients : 500 grams chicken boneless, 1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste, 2 big tomatoes, 1 big onion, 1 teaspoon finely chopped ginger and green chillies, 1 teaspoon cumin powder, 1 teaspoon red chilly powder, 1 teaspoon coriander powder, ½ tablespoon lemon juice, ½ tablespoon yoghurt, 2 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon fresh cream, salt and sugar to taste.

Preparation time : - 45 minutes     Serves : - 2

HOW TO PREPARE : - Cut the chicken into small pieces and make slits on all sides of each piece. Now add the curd, ginger garlic paste, ½ teaspoon coriander powder, ½ teaspoon cumin powder and ½ teaspoon red chilly powder, lemon juice and onion paste. Mix it all up together and let it marinate overnight for best results. Now take a frying pan and put in half the butter and add the chicken with the entire paste and sauté it. Then cover it with a lid and cook for 25 minutes or till the chicken is done. After the water evaporates there will be enough fat given out by the chicken. Fry the chicken in that fat for another five minutes. Remove from flame and set it aside. Now take another pan and put the remaining butter and bring to heat. Then add the red chilly powder, cumin powder, coriander powder and sauté briefly. Then put in the chopped tomatoes, sugar and salt to taste and cook for another five minutes. Then add the chicken, ginger and green chillies. Mix it well and simmer and cook for ten minutes. Garnish with butter flakes, fresh cream and coriander and serve.
