MEAT

Chef’s tip

This is a luscious, buttery
chicken curry, best served
with fresh coriander, naan
or long grain rice.

Butter chicken

THIS CURRY CREATES AN AWESOME TASTE THAT LINGERS IN THE MOUTH

Preparation time: 10 minutes 1 tsp garam masala
Cooking time: 10-15 minutes 1 tsp red chilli powder
Serves 3-4 1 tsp crushed garlic
Juice of half a lemon
You will need: 1-2 tsp salt
4 chicken breasts cut in cubes
¼ cup butter ¼ cup fresh cream
2 cinnamon sticks 1 tbsp ground cashew nuts
2 cloves Freshly chopped coriander to garnish
½ cup liquidised tomato

Method

1 Melt the butter, then add the cinnamon sticks and the cloves. When they start to sizzle add the
tomato, garam masala, chilli powder, garlic, lemon juice, and salt.

2 Marinate the chicken cubes in this and cook on a low heat until tender. Do not overcook, else the
chicken will be dry and tough.

3 Add the cream and the ground cashew nuts and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
