Butter Chicken

I know this is kinda off topic for this blog, but who cares...  I have been  meaning to post my Butter Chicken Recipe for some time now, and here it is.

Butter Chicken

Shopping List

1 medium white onion
2 cloves garlic
1.5 lbs. Chicken boneless and cut into bite size pieces
3cups Heavy Cream 35%
0.5lbs or 1 cup  Butter (half of a block)
2tsp  Garam Masala
1tsp Cayenne Pepper
2tsp Sea Salt
3 to 4 TBSP Tandoori (powder or paste)
1 can (around 400mls) Tomato Sauce (original)


directions for cooking
Preheat over to 350
fine dice onion and garlic (separately)
sweat onion on medium heat with 1tbsp of butter until onion starts to look translucent
add minced garlic and continue to sweat for three minutes on low heat
in a large saucepan place 0.5lbs butter
let melt at low heat add onion/garlic mix, tomato sauce, garam masala, cayenne & salt
let simmer for about 15 minutes stirring occasionally to incorporate
all ingredients.

toss chicken pieces in small amount of oil then in Tandoori enough to evenly cover your chicken pieces.  Spread seasoned chicken out onto a cookie sheet and cook in oven for about 11 minutes.

add 3 cups of heavy cream to butter/tomato mixture stir and let simmer again while chicken is cooking.
Once chicken is cooked (cut in to check as oven temps may vary) remove chicken from oven and add to sauce.

VOILA!  delicious every time...

This can also be done with firm tofu 
i would suggest baking the tofu for a little bit longer.
