Indian Butter Chicken

I could go to an Indian Restaurant

and get get a sampling of the different sauces

and Naan and be perfectly happy

Mmmm….

Unfortunately,

I have yet to find an Indian Restaurant to offer that!

However,

in my many visits to Indian style restaurants

Butter Chicken is one of my favorites

I have even been know to ask for 

this and some Naan for my Birthday dinner

YUM!

My Husband is the weekend chef around here

he always cooks ethnic foods

and experiments

So this is his recipe

FYI – the leftovers

are DELICIOUS

on pizza

Make up the 5 minute Pizza Dough,

pour this on top,

and put some Mozzarella on

Oh.MY.

it might be the best ever pizza 🙂

Ingredients:

1 lb chicken, cubed

2 cans (14oz) stewed Tomatoes (we have even used fresh tomatoes)

1 onion, chopped

Garlic – to taste (us 3-4 cloves!)

Ginger – 1 inch piece, minced

3 TBSP Garam Masala

3 TBSP butter

lemon juice

1/2 cup cream

Directions:

Melt the butter in a pan and saute the onions and garlic until onions are translucent. Add in the chicken and cook. Add the Garam Masala to the chicken. Add in the tomatoes and a squirt or two of lemon juice. Let cook for a few minutes. Add in the cream just before serving. I just eyeball the cream. 

YUM! Serve over rice and soak up the sauce with some Naan! Serve leftovers on pizza (if there are any, or just make a double batch)
