Happy Tuesday! Valentine’s Day is only a week away. This year make something elegant and special for you and/or your significant other such as this Butter Chicken recipe. It looks & tastes fancy but is really easy to put together.
My mother is known for her butter chicken and NO ONE can make it like she does…Not even ME 🙁 As many times as I watched her make it and helped her make it….I can never get it the same as hers. However, mine does come pretty close. This dish is for all of you that love Indian food. I bet your “go to” dish at an Indian restaurant is Chicken Tikka Masala; right? Well, this is a “skinny” version of the famous dish. Why is this dish called butter chicken instead of chicken tikka masala? Well, that is because in chicken tikka masala you pre-bake the tandoori chicken tikka (boneless pieces) prior to adding them to your sauce. So, this is an easy and low-fat way to satisfy your craving for this world renowned dish. Trust me; you will not miss all the heavy cream & butter that is usually put into this dish.
Serve with steamed basmati rice, naan, roti or papad. I enjoy eating it with steamed rice and crunchy papad.
Leftovers taste even better the next day 🙂
