Without it, the dish won’t have the same flavor. I would really encourage you to go out and buy some Garam Masala for this recipe. It gives the recipe a little bit of a kick and a delicious signature flavor that really can’t be found using anything else. Garam masala is a spice blend that is used in a lot of traditional Indian cooking. you can substitute the 1 cup half and half with 1/2 a cup heavy cream and 1/2 a cup whole milk.
If you are making this outside of the U.S. Half and half is a product sold in the United States that is literally just half heavy cream and half whole milk. Instead I used yogurt and half and half, which give you the nice creaminess you are looking for without the heavy cream. There will still be lots of sauce left perfect for covering rice and dipping naan.Ī lot of Butter Chicken recipes call for cream, but I opted out in this version. Allow the sauce to simmer, cooking down for 10 minutes. Stir in tomato puree, tomato paste, lemon juice, yogurt and half and half. Now add in the garam masala, chili powder, salt and black pepper. You want them to just cook on the outside but there is no need to cook them all the way through as they will finish cooking with the sauce. These bite sized pieces of chicken will only need a minute or two. After the butter is melted, add in the garlic and ginger and cook until just fragrant. Allowing them to cook down first prevents the chicken from over cooking and the garlic from burning. One of the keys to this recipe is to really let the onions cook down first before you add anything else.
