Butter Chicken

Butter Chicken is our favorite Indian dish (at least for the time being). It is creamy, flavourful but pretty mild compared to other Indian curries.

Yesterday was a holiday in Denmark so it was perfect occasion to prepare this dish and take some pictures for the blog post. Starting from the morning time I realized that I don’t have so much Indian cutleries or dishes such as bowels at home, so I wasn’t that happy about the idea of photographing. Short look from the window down the street showed that one little store was open. The store is called Busy Bitch, hmm, funny. Very nice lady is selling all kinds of interesting items from the old days. I am passing by the store quite often, imagining all those items on my pictures. I hurried up down to check it out and I left with a big smile and a little peace of porcelain dish in my hands. It looked like partly Indian inspired. Thanks Busy Bitch for saving me this time. Now I was ready to take some great shots.

Usually there is a lot of different curries in Indian feast followed by the side dishes. And sides are essential in every feast. You can make some rice but to scoop up the tasty sauce we also made naan breads. The recipe for Naan bread will come out too.

Very important step in Butter chicken is marinade, as chicken breasts don’t take long time to cook they won’t absorb much of the flavour from sauce. That’s where marinade plays a big role. Prepare your chicken the day before, or at least couple of hours before and let it  rest in the fridge. This will create an extremely tender and flavourful chicken.

For this dish you can easily find all the ingredients in the supermarket, and prepare your little Indian feast. Hopefully you are going to like it as much as we do 🙂
