  • 1 lb butter chicken
  • 1 medium yellow onion

  • 4 oz turmeric
  • 1/4 cup garam masala
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro
  • to taste good finishing oil
Method

Step by step

  1. Pat the butter chicken dry and season it well so it browns instead of steaming.
  2. Get your pan hot and render the aromatics until they smell sweet and toasty.
  3. Return the butter chicken, add just enough liquid, and simmer until everything is tender.
  4. Taste, brighten with a squeeze of citrus, and plate while it is still hot.
