Sposób przygotowania

1
Combine the chicken, yogurt, lemon juice, half of the ginger, half of the garlic, 1 teaspoon of garam masala, and half the salt in a bowl. Toss until evenly coated, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes or up to 8 hours.
2
Melt 15 g of the butter in a wide, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken in a single layer and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side, working in batches if necessary, until browned outside but not yet fully cooked. Transfer to a plate.

3
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining butter. Sauté the onion for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring often, until soft and lightly golden. Add the remaining ginger, garlic, and garam masala, then cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
4
Stir in the crushed tomatoes and remaining salt. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and the raw tomato aroma has mellowed.
5
Blend the tomato mixture with an immersion blender until smooth, taking care to keep the blade submerged. Alternatively, cool it briefly and blend in batches, then return it to the skillet.
6
Return the skillet to low heat and stir in the cream. Add the seared chicken and any accumulated juices, then simmer gently for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce coats the chicken and the thickest piece reaches 74°C/165°F.

7
Crush the dried fenugreek leaves between your palms and stir them into the sauce. Taste and adjust the salt, then rest the butter chicken for 5 minutes off the heat so the sauce settles and thickens slightly.
8
Serve hot with basmati rice or naan, adding a small drizzle of cream or chopped cilantro if desired.

Dlaczego ten przepis się sprawdza

Yogurt tenderizes the chicken while adding gentle tang, and the tomato base supplies brightness to balance butter and cream. Blooming the spices in fat creates a rounded, aromatic sauce rather than a dusty one.
