Introduction

Buttered Chicken Masala created by Úna-Minh Kavanagh – Journalist and Food Writer

Ingredients

  • 50g butter
  • 2 medium white onions (chopped)
  • 4 cloves of garlic (crushed)
  • 2 tsp of grated fresh ginger root
  • 1 tsp of ground coriander
  • 1 tsp of curry powder
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • Salt and pepper to season
  • 2 tbsp tomato purée
  • 2 large ripe tomatoes (deseeded and diced)
  • 250ml milk
  • 4 skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite size chunks)
  • 4 tbsp of natural plain yoghurt
  • Fresh coriander leaves
  • Optional: 1 tsp or more of chilli powder if you’re in the mood for something more spicy!

Method

  • 1. Prepare your ingredients. Heat and melt the butter in a large pan, and then add in your onions to cook until golden brown. This should take about 10 minutes on a medium-to-high heat.
  • 2. When the onions have coloured, add in the garlic, ginger, ground coriander, curry powder, turmeric and a teaspoon of salt (with the optional chilli powder). Sauté the spices for a minute and mix with the onion until the aroma becomes fragrant.
  • 3. Add your tomato purée into the mixture along with the diced tomatoes and cook until thickened slightly.
  • 4. Now to add in your milk! To make sure it doesn’t curdle, I always scoop some of the hot mixture in with the milk and stir it around to heat it slightly. Then I pour it into the pan along with the chicken breast pieces. Cook your chicken on a medium heat for about 10 minutes until soft but cooked through.
  • 5. While the chicken is cooking, you can put on your rice so that it’ll be ready on time.
  • 6. stir in the yoghurt! Make sure it’s well incorporated into the chicken masala and then quickly chop up a handful of coriander and stir through.
  • 7. Serve on hot plates on top of your rice with a sprinkling of coriander on top and ENJOY!
