00:01Today's dinner is going to be ready in 30 minutes with our one pot butter chicken. So stay with us
00:06and let's get started. For this recipe we're going to go in with 1 kilogram of skinless boneless
00:12chicken thighs and I like to go in with chicken thighs because they have more flavor but you can
00:16always use chicken breast if you want it. Let's keep that aside while we make the marinate. So to
00:21a bowl we're going to add 1 third cup of thick yogurt and to that we're going to add 1
00:25teaspoon
00:25of ginger paste, 2 teaspoons of garlic paste and to that we're going to add 1 teaspoon of coriander
00:32powder, 1 teaspoon of cumin powder, 2 teaspoons of kashmiri chili powder and this is going to give
00:37us flavor and color. And now for a little zing or tang we're going to go in with 1 teaspoon
00:43of
00:43armchewed powder and we're going to add about half a teaspoon of turmeric powder and this is going to
00:47make our chicken glow. And now to that let's add some salt and you're going to add enough salt so
00:53that your chicken gets well seasoned. And we're also going to add in some freshly ground black pepper.
00:58And now to that we're going to add about a tablespoon of lemon juice.
01:01I'm going to use all in my might to squeeze this and I'm going to add about a tablespoon of
01:07oil to it
01:08and this is going to help the marinade to cling to the chicken. Now let's give that a mix and
01:13bring
01:13our marinade together. Let's add all that delicious flavor to the chicken. Now you could either go in with
01:20your hands or use a pair of tongs and make sure that marinade coats every piece of chicken. You want
01:26that flavor to really catch on to the chicken. Now this is a great prepper head stage. You could prep
01:31this a day before and leave it in your refrigerator to marinate overnight because that's going to give
01:36you the best flavor. Let's head over to the stove and cook the chicken. To a heated pot on medium
01:41heat
01:41we're going to add in some oil and now we're going to place the chicken pieces. You don't want to
01:46overcrowd the pan you're going to place only few at a time. Now that it has that lovely char color
01:52on
01:52one side we're going to flip it over and cook it on the other side. Now that we've got some
01:57good color
01:58on both sides it's time to take off the chicken. Now we don't want to lose any flavor so in
02:04the same
02:04pan we're going to add a little bit more oil and this is butter chicken so we're going to toss
02:09in two
02:09tablespoons of butter. I've chopped up one large onion and now we're going to add that to the pot.
02:14We're going to saute that till the onions turn translucent. Now if you see a few big pieces of
02:21onion that's perfectly fine because we're going to puree this after it has softened. And while the
02:26onions are softening we're also going to add in about six to eight cashew nuts so that they get a
02:31chance to soften as well. Okay to the onions we're going to add one teaspoon of ginger paste and two
02:37teaspoons of garlic paste. It's a good idea to add the ginger and the garlic after you've added the onions
02:43because it prevents them from burning. To save me time from cooking it down I'm going to go in with
02:48tomato paste and we're going to add in one can which is approximately two-third cups. And if you
02:54don't have tomato paste handy you can always add in six small tomatoes just chop them up and add them
02:59in.
02:59It will take a little longer to cook and get to this stage but you'll reach there. Now for the
03:04flavors
03:04we're going to go in with one teaspoon of Kashmiri chili powder, half a teaspoon of coriander powder,
03:09half a teaspoon of cumin powder. We're going to saute this for a few minutes till the spices turn
03:15aromatic. Now we're going to cover it up with the lid and we're going to allow it to cook just
03:19for
03:19about 30 seconds. And now that the oil has separated from the mix we're going to turn off the heat
03:24and
03:24add in about one cup of water to cool it down. Let's give that a mix. Now that the mix
03:30has cooled we're
03:31going to put it into a blender and you can use any blender that you have handy at home. Now
03:39let's
03:40blend it up into a smooth puree. Now look how smooth our sauce is just like butter. Let's quickly chop
03:47up
03:47the chicken before we bring our butter chicken together. In butter chicken you have smaller pieces
03:52of chicken so we're going to cut this up into strips. Now the butter chicken that we are making is
03:58really
03:58flavorful because we've actually made tandoori chicken and now we're going to add it to the sauce
04:03which has got some butter in it so it's absolutely flavorful. Now we're going to add the puree back
04:09to the pot and I've swallowed about half a cup of water in the jar to get out all that
04:14delicious
04:14flavor that was left behind. Now let's give that a quick mix. Oh just look how velvety smooth it's looking.
04:22Now to this we're going to add half a teaspoon of turmeric, half a teaspoon of garam masala,
04:26two teaspoons of sugar, butter chicken is a little bit on the sweeter side and we're going to add some
04:32salt
04:33and pepper to taste.
04:37Let's give that a quick mix and now we're going to add in the chicken pieces and you're going to
04:43add in
04:43all the juices that are left behind in the plate as well. Now let's give that a mix.
04:50We're going to cover this up and allow the chicken to cook completely.
04:54Now that the chicken has cooked we're going to lower the heat and add in one cup of heavy cream
04:59and one teaspoon of kasturi methi and we're just going to crush that between our palms to release
05:06all that flavor and then you're going to add it in. Now we're going to give that a mix and
05:11look at
05:11that deliciousness. This butter chicken is so quick and easy to make and I'm sure it's going to be the
05:17best
05:18one you've ever tasted. And now we're going to add in one tablespoon of butter for good measure.
05:23Oh my goodness! Look at that! And to finish off we're going to garnish it with some finely chopped
05:31fresh coriander and a cube of butter. We're going to twist it on a little cream around.
05:38And now dinner is served! And I'm back! Let's give the butter chicken a taste! So creamy!
05:43Cheers!
05:45Mmm! Finger licking good!
