Ingredients
Chicken (with or without bone) 500g
For the marinade
Red chilli powder 60g
Ginger-garlic paste 60g
Salt 60g
1 large bowl of curd 1
For the gravy
Cumin seeds 60g
Red chilli powder 60g
Green chillies 60g
Salt 60g
Sugar 60g
Fresh cream 1/2 cup
Tomato puree 500g
Step 1: Marinating the Chicken
In a bowl, mix together red chilli powder, ginger-garlic paste, salt, and curd. Add the chicken pieces and coat them evenly with the marinade. Pop it in the refrigerator for at least 7 hours to let those flavours mingle and develop.
Step 2: Roasting the Chicken
After marinating, place the chicken in an oven and roast it for about 15 minutes. This will add a lovely depth of flavour to your butter chicken.
Step 3: Creating the Gravy
Heat two generous chunks of Nutralite table spread in a pan. Add the tomato puree and sauté it for 2 to 3 minutes until it releases its beautiful aroma. Now, sprinkle in some cumin seeds, green chillies, and a pinch of salt to enhance the taste.
Step 4: Bringing It All Together
Add the marinated chicken to the pan along with more Nutralite table spread, fresh cream, green chillies (if you like it spicy), and a touch of sugar to balance the flavours according to your preference. Let these ingredients simmer and meld together for 5 to 8 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Step 5: The Finishing Touch
Just before serving, add a spoonful of Nutralite table spread on top of your butter chicken curry. This will give it that final touch of richness and flavour.

Did You Know?
Butter chicken, also known as “murgh makhani” in Hindi, is believed to have originated by chance in Delhi, India.
Legend has it that it was created in the 1950s at the Moti Mahal restaurant when leftover tandoori chicken was mixed with a rich, tomato-based gravy, and the result was the now-beloved dish, butter chicken. This is a testament to how some of the most iconic and delicious recipes are often born out of culinary experimentation.

Here’s an idea!
Bored of pairing butter chicken with bread? Transform your butter chicken into a nacho topping by spooning it over a bed of tortilla chips. Sprinkle with shredded cheese, jalapeños, and diced tomatoes, then bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Finish with a drizzle of curd or sour cream for a fusion of Indian and Tex-Mex flavours.
