Recipe: Saffron-Infused Classic Indian Butter Chicken

Get ready to indulge in the rich and creamy goodness of this Indian classic with an aromatic twist.

Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons of Butter Chicken + Saffron spice blend.
• 800 g of chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces.
• 1.5 cups of plain yoghurt, divided.
• 800 ml of chicken or vegetable stock.
• 1 onion, finely diced.
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced.
• 400 g tomato puree, for that tangy kick.
• 2 limes, quartered, to add a zesty note.
• 2 tablespoons of cashew nut butter, for a nutty depth.
• 2 tablespoons of butter, because it's not Butter Chicken without it!
• Cooking oil of your choice.
• Sea Salt and pepper, to taste.
• Fresh coriander, finely chopped, for garnish.

Method:

1. In a bowl, mix the Butter Chicken + Saffron spice blend with half a cup of yoghurt.
2. Coat the chicken pieces in this marinade and let it rest in the fridge for a few hours or overnight.
3. Cook the chicken in a pan until it's done and beautifully browned.
4. Simultaneously, prepare the stock if using stock cubes.
5. In another pan, sauté onion and garlic, then add tomato puree, cashew nut butter, a squeeze of lime, and stock. Stir well over low-medium heat.
6. Add the chicken, ensuring it's well-coated with the sauce, then mix in the butter or ghee.
7. Slowly stir in the remaining yoghurt until smooth.
8. Simmer on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reduces by half and the chicken is tender (about 30 minutes).
9. Serve garnished with fresh coriander, alongside steamed rice, naan, or roti.
