Gordon Ramsay's butter chicken is easy to cook and can be made ahead and
reheated in a matter of minutes. 



Cooking your own curry is a cheaper and healthier way to treat the whole family.
Kids can help make the marinade for the chicken and it’s a great way to teach
them about different spices. If you’d prefer though, make the curry in the
morning or day before and reheat when everything is ready for dinner. We serve
the curry with rice but naan or poppadoms are also delicious on the side. 


INGREDIENTS

 * 800g chicken, boneless and skinless, cut into 3-4cm pieces
 * 2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely crushed
 * 2cm ginger, peeled and finely grated
 * ½ tsp fine sea salt
 * ½ tsp hot chilli powder
 * 1½ tbsp lemon juice
 * 75ml natural yoghurt
 * ½ tsp garam masala (mixed Indian spices)
 * ½ tsp ground turmeric
 * 1tsp ground cumin
 * 1-2 tbsp vegetable oil, for brushing

METHOD

 1. Put the chicken in a bowl with the garlic, ginger, salt, chilli powder and
    lemon juice. Mix, cover with cling film and chill for 30 mins.
 2. Mix together the yogurt, garam masala, turmeric and cumin and add to the
    chicken, making sure that each piece is well coated with the mixture. Cover
    again and chill for 3-4 hours or overnight.
 3. Heat the oven to 180C (160C fan, Gas 4). Put the marinated chicken pieces on
    a grill rack set on a baking tray and bake for 8-10 mins. Brush the chicken
    pieces with a little oil and turn them over. Bake for another 10-12 mins
    until just cooked through.
 4. Meanwhile, heat the ghee or butter in a pan and add the garlic and ginger.
    Fry for a min or so then add the cardamom, cloves, coriander, garam masala,
    turmeric and chilli powder.
 5. Stir well and fry for 1-2 mins until they give off a lovely aroma. Stir in
    the tomato pure and lemon juice and cook for another couple of mins. Add the
    chicken pieces to the sauce and stir well to coat.
 6. Finally, add the butter and cream and stir continuously until the butter has
    melted and the sauce is smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your
    preference. Transfer to a warm bowl and serve hot, garnished with the
    chopped coriander if using.

TOP TIPS FOR MAKING GORDON RAMSAY’S BUTTER CHICKEN

Natural yogurt and cream help to make this curry milder, but if you don’t like
it too hot or you want to ensure it's family-friendly, just use ‘mild’ chilli
powder instead of the ‘hot’. Serving the curry with an extra drizzle of cream on
top makes a nice presentation and a little added indulgence. 




IS MAKHANI THE SAME AS BUTTER CHICKEN?

Butter chicken is traditionally know as Makhani, originating in Northern India
is 1948. This delicious chicken dish was created by Kundan Lal Gujral. The
chicken is cooked in a smooth, velvet 'butter gravy' which makes the cuts of
chicken used, extra tender and moist. The addition of cream gives the sauce a
silky finish. Butter chicken is similar to chicken tikka masala. It is a
slightly sweet curry.


WHAT CAN YOU SERVE WITH BUTTER CHICKEN?

Butter chicken is perfect simply paired with pilau rice and naan bread. Of
course, if you want to make this an even more indulgent meal opt for serving
with saag aloo and homemade Peshwari naan. This onion bhaji recipe is excellent
if you want a tasty starter option too. 


HOW TO STORE LEFTOVER BUTTER CHICKEN

For the best flavour, texture, and quality, butter chicken is best cooked and
eaten on the same day. However, if you have leftovers or you want to bulk cook
this meal, you can easily freeze leftovers by storing them in an airtight
container (freezer safe) for up to three months. Make sure the chicken is
completely cooled before putting it in the freezer.

"Gordon doesn't specify breast or thighs in his recipe but thighs are much
cheaper. It's very easy to de-bone and skin thighs yourself. You can use the
bones for stock and cook the skin in a hot oven to make a delicious snack.
Alternatively, use bone-in chicken pieces for the curry, just remember it will
take a little longer to cook."
