Butter Chicken Recipe

I love Butter Chicken, I have tried to make it a few times and it never turned out right, but this time it turned out really good :-)

Marinate sauce

1 cup yogurt

salt to taste

2 tablespoons chopped garlic

1/2 tablespoon garam masala

2 tablespoons melted butter

1 tablespoon chili powder

2 tablespoons chopped ginger

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 tablespoons olive oil

Sauce

½ of cup of cream

2 cups of plain yogurt

1 cup of tomatoe paste

 2 tbs of ground almonds

1 red pepper chopped

3coped up garlics

1 tbs of garam masala

1 tablespoon chili powder

I tsp of coriander

1 tsp of cardamom

1 tsp of cumin  

1 tsp of brown sugar

Put all marinated ingredients into a bowl, and add cut up chicken pieces, and let marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Drain the marinated chicken with a strainer, then put the chicken pieces on skewers,  and bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until almost cooked through.

To Make the Sauce, Melt butter in a medium sauce pan, then add garam masala, coriander, cardamom, cumin, chili powder, saute till you spell the spices, but make sure you don’t burn it, just saute for about a minute not even, and then add garlic, ground almonds, and chopped red pepper. Saute till they are tender, and then add cream, plain yogurt, and tomato paste. Stir till blended and has that orange colure then add brown sugar,  worm up till the sauce starts to bubble a little bit then add chicken pieces.   Cook for about 5 minutes till chicken is not pink in the middle any more and constantly stir while cooking.  

Then serve on a plate of white rice.
