Tip: Just use the recipe card below to adjust the portions. It’s a delicious meal that the whole family will love! Plus, this flavorful dish is even better the next day, so you may want to make a double batch! The traditional Indian spices of ginger, garam masala, and curry blend nicely with the tomatoes to create a flavorful sauce that’s absolutely irresistible! Instead, it includes the addition of coconut milk to give it its creaminess. It is made without any butter or heavy cream. This make-at-home version is lightened up a bit from the traditional butter chicken recipe. A creamy dish that’s not too spicy, it’s rich with just a hint of sweetness. I mean, who doesn’t love butter! I tried it not knowing what to expect, and it was love at first bite. My brother, on the other hand, I think wound up eating just naan and rice.īutter Chicken was the first dish that I picked for myself. I was always a bit of an adventurous eater. We went to and Indian buffet and I was able to pick whatever looked yummy to me. I was introduced to Indian food by my dad, or “pop” as I like to call him. No joke.Butter Chicken is definitely one of my favorite Indian dishes. I'll be sharing a REAL naan recipe with you on Wednesday to go with this! In the meantime, you'll have to live with the quick yeastless naan - way easier, but let me tell you: the "real" naan will BLOW. Moral of this story: SLOWLY add the hot to the cold and mix away! It might be weird, but it'll solve the texture problem if you experience the dreaded curdle. IF yours does curdle, take all the chicken out, blend up the sauce, and put it all back in. This will bring the temperature of the yogurt up, slowly, and you can then add it to the crockpot to heat fully without curdling. If you just dump it in and mix, it'll probably curdle - which isn't very attractive - so I suggest taking some of the warm sauce and gradually adding it into the cold yogurt. It's just so freaking flavorful! I took that original recipe and basically just cut out the cream and butter, and replaced it with nonfat Greek yogurt, which is mixed in (carefully) at the end. If you want to brown your meat, go for it!). No fussing around here! JUST THROW IT IN! (Admittedly, recipe where you brown the meat first will OF COURSE have a more complex final flavor, but when I want to cook in a slow cooker I'm willing to give that up. If I'm going to spend 20 minutes cooking over the stove, I might as well just cook the regular dish. I want to throw it in the crock pot and move on. If something is a slow cooker recipe, I expect to not have to do any extra frying/dish dirtying/cooking. Which brings me to my second set of priorities: SLOW COOKER EASE. BUT: it's still creamy (thanks, Greek yogurt!), flavorful, uh-mazing - and, it's really easy. There's just no way to replace 2 cups of cream and many tablespoons of butter. I won't lie to you and say it's the same as the original. Um, this probably can't really be called "butter chicken" though, because there is no butter. STILL TONS O' FLAVOR! Did I succeed? HECK YES. SO, I made this one with a few criteria: NO butter. And I questioned how "healthier" or "lighter" was applicable at. I did some googling and found various "lighter" butter chicken (or tikka masala) recipes, but most of them still had quite a bit of cream. I realize how much cream goes into it and that *maybe* it's not a sustainable thing to eat 10x per week. I was so so so glad to hear that other people made that recipe ( Indian Butter Chicken) and loved is just as much as I did! I still make it and love avtomaty na dengi! And. And, based on the crazy traffic and high level of comments on that post: I wasn't the only one. Remember a few months ago when I pretty much wrote a love letter to Indian food and made extreme claims of a life changing recipe? I WASN'T KIDDING. Thank you all so much for the great response to my first video!! If you missed it, you can find it on The Kitchen Paper YouTube Channel! xoxo
