Butter Chicken

Ingredients:
60 ml butter
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
10 ml curry powder
5 ml cumin
5 ml ground coriander
5 ml ginger
250 – 300 g chicken breasts
1 tin (410g) chopped tomatoes
30 ml tomato paste
10 ml garam masala
180 ml Bulgarian yoghurt
125 ml cream
Handful of fresh coriander leaves, chopped
5 ml salt

Method:
1. Heat butter and fry onions.
2. Add garlic, curry powder, coriander, cumin and ginger and fry until aromas are released.
3. Add chicken and fry until cooked.
4. Stir in tomatoes and tomato paste.
5. Bring to a boil and simmer for 8 – 10 minutes (or longer, I find the flavours get better and the chicken more tender).
6. Add the rest of the ingredients and heat till warm, but don’t boil.
7. Serve on rice (Jasmin Rice is divine!)

Serves 3 – 4
