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!
I have done this before and it was so good!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I loved the spices in this. I bet it was outstanding.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteCarole, 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 :-)
ReplyDeleteMy sons enjoy butter chicken, I'm going to have to try this one.
ReplyDeletethis is awesome. i must make this. Daughter loves butter chicken but doesn't eat dairy, hmm a bit of a problem there. This will be great. thanks.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to try butter chicken. The spices and coconut milk in your version sound fantastic...bet it smells good too!
