Butter Chicken

This is my version of a favorite comfort food.

Recipe
  • 1.5 tablespoon chilli powder
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 3 Tbsp oil
  • 1 small onion 
  • 2-3 frozen chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp pressed garlic or 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp ginger
  • 2 cups spaghetti sauce
  • 1 cup cream or 1 cup coconut milk/alternative creamy milk
  • 1/4 cup or more pressed lemon juice
  • 1/2-1tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper

Start with the first 5 ingredients, pop them into a frying pan. Mix the oil into the spice, cover and cook on low until the edges of the chicken turn white. 
Add garlic until aromatic 30-60 seconds. Remove chicken and slice
Add spaghetti sauce and sliced chicken, cover and let cook until chicken is cooked through. Add ginger, salt, pepper, lemon and then mix in the cream. Allow it to return to a mild boil. 
For best flavour let it cool and refrigerate. Re-heat 6 hours later or eat the next day. The spices really soak in better. You can add chilli powder or pepper if you want it spicier. 
Enjoy with Flatbread and rice.
