In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until it's browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add butter and let it melt. Add finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for another minute. Then, add tomato puree, red chili powder, garam masala, and kasuri methi. Cook the sauce until it thickens.
Pour in fresh cream and mix well. Add the cooked chicken pieces to the sauce and simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and a dollop of butter (optional). Serve hot with naan bread or rice.
Enjoy the simplified version of the classic Butter Chicken!
It was okay. The sauce was a bit thick for my preference, but the flavor was still pretty good. I'll try adjusting the consistency next time.
This recipe is fantastic! It's easy, quick, and the taste is incredible. The sauce is so creamy and the chicken is perfectly cooked. A definite five-star recipe.
This simplified butter chicken is a winner! The sauce was incredibly creamy and flavorful, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. My family devoured it. Will definitely make this again!
Good weeknight meal. I appreciated the simplicity of this recipe. The flavors were authentic enough, and it didn't take forever to make. Highly recommended.
