Butter Chicken (Low FODMAP)


Butter Chicken (Low FODMAP) by Carole's Chatter
 
I based this Butter Chicken dish on a recipe on Fodmap Fun (thanks!).  But I did make some changes – as you know I can't help myself.
Rather than marinading the chicken overnight I only had 45 minutes.

The marinade was made up of: 

Salt and pepper
Chili powder
Turmeric
Cumin and coriander seeds crushed in the mortar and pestle
Cinnamon
Olive oil
Lemon juice 

I also didn't cook the chicken and the sauce separately.  I just browned the chicken a bit in olive oil  and then added the sauce ingredients below and once the chicken is cooked you're good to go. 

Sauce ingredients
2 tins of chopped tomatoes
Small tin of coconut milk
6 cardamom pods – lightly bashed
Knob of ginger, grated
1 green chilli – chopped finely 

If I had had some fresh coriander I would have added that too. 

I served this with rice.  It actually did taste a bit like butter chicken even though no cream or butter is in it!

  3. I wish there was a way to taste a sample through the Internet....Hope someone is working on that! It has been a long time since I've seen a recipe with turmeric. And such an interesting combination of spices!

  4. Carole, I have been looking for a Butter Chicken recipe for ages. I love it!!! Anytime when I'd like to eat that I have to order. It's a shame, isn't it? But not any more, I'll go for your recipe. I'm sure it's delicious :-)

  7. I love Indian food, and I find that I always love the flavour of butter chicken, but after just a couple of mouthfuls I just find it too rich (and I'm a person who actually quite likes fairly rich food), so I'm loving the idea of this without the cream and butter.
