Creamy Butter Chicken in Garlic-Infused Sauce with Golden Crispy Frie
Ingredients:
1 lb boneless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
3 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 can (14 oz) tomato puree
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional, adjust to taste)
Salt to taste
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Cooking oil (for frying fries)
3 large potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
Salt and pepper (for seasoning fries)
Directions:
Preheat oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 350°F (175°C). Rinse potato fries thoroughly and dry well. Fry potatoes in batches until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add garlic and ginger; cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.
Stir in tomato puree, garam masala, cumin, paprika, chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cover. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Reduce heat to low, stir in heavy cream, and cook an additional 5 minutes until sauce is creamy and chicken is tender.
Plate the butter chicken and drizzle with additional garlic butter sauce if desired. Serve alongside crispy fries garnished with fresh cilantro.
