Indian Butter Chicken Recipe?

[Anonymous]

Never tried it so looking for easy and simple one to start with. Looking for Trader Joes Butter Chicken-like flavors. TIA.

Whatever recipe you follow, I highly recommend adding in a 1/4 cup cashews, ground after measuring. It really makes a difference.

I use the Patak simmer sauces from the grocery. Pour over diced chicken, sliced onion and tomatoes, bake until bubbling. Serve over rice with plain yogurt and cilantro.

To me dried fenugreek leaves are a key ingredient in the dish - just doesn't taste the same without it. You can find it in most Indian grocery stores, labeled kasuri methi. I also don't use onions in mine.

OP here - thanks.

I tried this one today but something is missing but I can't tell what?!?!

Anyone care to guess?

Looks decent enough, but like the PP said the kasuri methi will elevate it. And a bit of adjustment with lime juice at the end to adjust the tang.

I'd like an easy recipe but anytime I look at Indian cooking the spice preparation overwhelms me.

Is this something I can add after it's prepared? I am wondering if I should go out and get it tomorrow and add some. It's not bad as is but still like to figure out what I am missing.

Thanks

You can add it in and simmer for a while for the flavors to blend.
