Velvety, Spiced, and Oh-So-Buttery: Your New Butter Chicken Obsession!

Curry Type: MILD 

Butter Chicken, or Murgh Makhani, is a classic Indian dish with a rich, creamy tomato-based sauce. Using a pre-made Nosh Spice Butter Chicken Mix makes it faster and more convenient to prepare this delicious meal. 

Ingredients 

For the Marinade: 

• 1 lb (450g) boneless chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces 
• ½ cup plain yogurt 
• 1 tbsp Nosh Spice Butter Chicken Mix 
• 1 tsp ginger paste 
• 1 tsp garlic paste 
• 1 tbsp lemon juice 
• Salt to taste 

For the Sauce: 

• 2 tbsp butter or ghee 
• 1 tsp ginger paste 
• 1 tsp garlic paste 
• 2 tbsp tomato puree (blend 2 fresh tomatoes) 
• 1 tsp honey or sugar 
• 1 tbsp Nosh Spice Butter Chicken Mix 
• ½ cup heavy cream 
• Salt to taste 
• 1 tsp Nosh Spice Garam Masala 

Cooking Method 

Step 1: Marinade the Chicken 

1. In a large bowl, mix the yogurt, Nosh Spice Butter Chicken Mix, ginger paste, garlic paste, lemon juice, and salt. 
2. Add the chicken pieces and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. 
3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (overnight is ideal for deeper flavour). 

Step 2: Cook the Chicken 

1. Grill, bake, or pan-fry the marinated chicken until fully cooked and slightly browned. 
2. Set aside. 

Step 3: Prepare the Sauce 

1. In a large skillet or pan, melt the butter or ghee over medium heat. 
2. Add the ginger paste and garlic paste, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. 
3. Stir in the tomato puree and 1 tbsp of Nosh Spice Butter Chicken Mix. 
4. Cook the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the oil starts to separate from the sauce. 
5. Add honey or sugar to balance the tanginess of the tomatoes. 

Step 4: Finish the Sauce 

1. Lower the heat and gently stir in the heavy cream. Let it simmer for 5 minutes. 
2. Add the cooked chicken to the sauce and mix well. 
3. Let the dish simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the flavours to meld together. If the sauce is too thick, you can add more cream or milk to adjust the consistency. 

Step 5: Season and Serve 

1. Taste and adjust the salt as needed. 
2. Sprinkle 1 tsp of Nosh Spice Garam Masala for extra flavour. 
3. Serve your delicious Butter Chicken over rice, with naan, or Indian bread of your choice.
