non-vegetarian dishes is Butter Chicken. Try out this easy recipe at home.
Ingredients:
3 lbs. chicken drumsticks/ thighs/ sliced breast pieces
1 tbsp. oil
1 tsp. ginger paste
1 tsp. garlic paste
3 tsp. chilli powder (optional)
1 cup yogurt or buttermilk
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup/4 oz. tomato puree
4 oz. butter
6 cardamoms
6 cloves
2 sticks cinnamon
3 tsp. salt or to taste
Method:
Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Fry the ginger, garlic, cardamoms, cinnamon and cloves on
medium low heat for a minute, and add the chicken with the yogurt or buttermilk, tomato puree,
sour cream, chilli powder and salt. Cook on medium low heat, stirring occasionally, for half an
hour, keeping the saucepan covered with a lid. Add butter before serving.
