I ordered that recently at an Indian restaurant and wondered why I never tried doing it at home, I love it! And I think I kind of nailed it. I am very happy with this version. The sauce is thick and full of flavors!

Of course, for the extra Indian restaurant feeling, I made homemade naans and it was so good. I really recommend putting the effort into making some if you make this recipe. A little squeeze of lime for some brightness and you’re set for a delicious meal.

Butter chicken (serves 4) :

• 400g chicken breast
• 50g butter
• 1 onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 150g greek yogurt
• 2 tbsp garam massala
• 1 tsp fresh minced ginger
• 1 tsp tomato paste
• 300ml tomato sauce
• 1 bay leave
• 150ml sour cream
• 150ml water
• Coriander to garnish
• Naans to serve

In a bowl, mix all the spices, yogurt, bay leave, chicken, salt, ginger and grated garlic.

Mince the onion finely.

In a pot, sweat the onion in the butter for 3 minutes.

Add the marinated chicken and the marinade. Let it brown for a bit.

Add the tomatoes (pasta and sauce) and water. Let it cook covered for 20 minutes.

Add the sour cream and cook 5 more minutes uncovered.

Garnish with fresh coriander and a fresh naan!
