Butter Chicken Recipe - Cooking Process To Make Butter Chicken

To make butter chicken, heat a pan and pour some cooking oil in it.once it is heated, add the marinated chicken pieces one by one with enough space and fry it till golden brown. When one side of the chicken is cooked well, flip to the other side and cook similarly.

Keep it aside and let it remain warm in the container.

Add some butter in the same pan and fry the finely chopped onions and fry till brown.

Now add the ginger garlic paste, and once you get the fragrance out of it add the chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala and stir it well until the raw smell of the masalas goes off.

Slowly add the crushed tomatoes, pepper powder and cumin powder and required salt and simmer the stove.let it cook for 15-20 minutes.

When it is thickened remove the pan from the stove and let it cool.

When it is completely cooled, put it in a blender and blend it into a smooth paste with a little water.

Just pour the puree you prepared and add thick fresh cream, sugar and kasoori methi to it.

At this stage, add the marinated chicken into the pan and cook for about 10-15 minutes until the chicken is completely cooked.

When the butter starts oozing out from the sides, you can find that the chicken is w cooked fully and a nice flavour comes out of the pan. Now the butter chicken is completely cooked.

Switch off the stove and garnish the chicken with finely chopped coriander leaves and serve hot with rice or roti.
