Ultimate Butter Chicken

Lotties favourite type of curry, she is a bit of a guru when we go out and will always give marks out of 10. This one, whilst good, still needs some more time in the test kitchen!!!

Apologies, the photo is a little blurry!

2 good sized chicken breasts, diced 2cm

Butter chicken spices (Chilli powder, ground turmeric, ground cinnamon)

Pinch of chilli flakes

1 tsp salt

2.5 tbsp butter

1 brown onion, chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

1 cup cream

1/2 cup milk

140g tomato paste

1/2 tsp vinegar

1 tsp sweet chilli sauce

---

Pat chicken dry and dice 2cm. Place chicken in a bowl with butter chicken spices, chilli flakes and salt. Mix to combine and season with pepper.

Heat butter in a fry-pan on medium heat. Cook onion for 4-5 mins, until soft, then add garlic and cook for a further min. Add chicken and cook for 3-5 mins until golden brown and nearly cooked through.

Add cream, milk, tomato paste, vinegar and sweet chilli sauce to pan. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low-medium and simmer for about 5 mins, until chicken is cooked through and sauce has thickened slightly. Season to taste.

Serve with rice and yummy accompanyments like naan bread, raita, mango chutney etc.
