Rebecca's Butter Chicken

Easy butter chicken

Ingredients:
•400g chicken meat, cubed
•100g tomato paste (approx 2/3 of a yoghurt pot)
•3/4 cup cream
•25g butter
•1 onion, finely diced
•3 cloves garlic, crushed (or 3 tsp of crushed garlic)

Spices (remember – a little Curry power can be used as spice as it already has a lot of ingredients in it. Not to much)

•1/2 tsp each of; ground ginger, cinnamon, salt, turmeric
•1/4 tsp garam masala
•Pinch chilli, depending on taste (1/2 tsp is hot)

Method:

1.Mix the spices together and add chicken meat and set aside.
2.Melt butter and saute onion and garlic for 2 minutes. Add chicken and saute for about 5 minutes. Add tomato paste and cream and simmer gently for 5 minutes.

Notes
* This recipe is very flexible - you can use more cream or less cream and top up with water. You can cut down on the tomato paste or boost it to your taste.
* And my best trick to extend it is to use less meat and cube pumpkin or potato very small, plus frozen peas and simmer until they are soft.
