Butter Chicken

Ingredients:

200 gms boneless chicken, cut into small pieces
2 medium sized onions chopped
2 medium sized tomatoes (skin and seeds removed, or use tomato purée instead)
1 tablespoon ginger and garlic paste
1 teaspoon kasoori methi (optional, I don't think there in an English name for this)
1 teaspoon jeera powder (cumin powder)
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon dhania powder (coriander)
Oil
2 tablespoons butter
Salt
Red chilli powder
1/2 teaspoon tandoori color
6-8 cashew nuts
1 tablespoon cream


Heat oil in a pan and sauté onions till cooked well( light brownish in colour) and add ginger garlic paste and tomatoes. Cook till the oil starts leaving the sides and all water has evaporated. Add dry masalas, cashew nuts, kasoori methi, salt, chilli and grind to a smooth paste.

Heat the paste and add water and chicken. Then add the butter and cook for 10 mins. Do not overcook the chicken.

P.S: vegetarians can substitute chicken with paneer and cook for 5 mins instead of 10 mins for Butter Paneer.
