So disregarding another episode of tearfulness with cutting Shallots and Onions, there they are, going to be fried up
So after they are nice and soft, then comes the
magic powders spices and stuffs. Ground Cumin, Chilli Powder, chopped up fenugreek, Garam Masala, Lemon Juice, Turmeric, Garlic, Grounded Ginger, Cardamom seeds, and Butter (Hmm, it would be a tragedy to forget butter in Butter Chicken now...)
The onions have a good colour with all the spices and everything blended in, smells good too, so adding in some tomato puree now.
Still kinda red, so now to blend in the yogurt and the cream, and make it thick.
Added some salt and pepper after simmering for 10 minutes, and the colour is looking pretty
Now, with that aside, a bit of Ghee and some raw chicken breast I cut earlier to start this part
After they are almost cooked, adding some more Garam Masala as well as Cayenne to really have a good tasting chicken.
Getting some sauce from earlier to toss the chicken in while it finishes cooking, what a good steamy smell.
The chicken is in the big sauce now, and all is well, so adding in some water and cashews to finish it off.
While all that other stuff is cooking and going along well, here is some Ghee and Chillis lightly layed on the Naan, which is then baked for a little bit.
Cut up the Naan when it is done, sprinkle some Cilantro over the main sauce, rice is ready and this is it
