Butter Chicken

Ingredients


4 Tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
1 large onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tsp garam masala
1 tsp ground cardamom
1 tsp ground coriander (cilantro)
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp paprika
1 tsp ground turmeric
3 Tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp salt
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 x 400 ml can coconut cream
700 g chicken thighs - chopped into small chunks
Coriander to serve
Add some cayenne or chilli flakes if you like a bit of spice!
Serve on top of basmati rice, or cauliflower rice if you are following a paleo/grain free diet

METHOD


  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 3 minutes until translucent. Turn the heat down to low and add all the spices. Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Add the salt, lemon juice, coconut cream and mix well.
  3. Turn the heat up to medium and bring the sauce to a simmer. Add the chicken and stir until well coated with the sauce. Cover the pan with a lid and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  4. Garnish with the coriander and serve with your choice of rice or cauliflower rice.
