1 stem of curry leaf
3 jam tomatoes blended
2 TBS yoghurt
2 tsp of aminas butter chicken spice
1 and a half cup to 2 cups of milk
Soak 1 cup of basmati rice and set aside with 1 tsp turmeric, a few curry leaves and thyme. Brown the onion in the same oil and ghee. Add in your ginger and garlic Add in your turmeric, masala, thyme and curry leaf, allow to simmer for 4 minutes on low. Add in the tomatoes and allow to cook for 5 minutes
Add in the yoghurt
Add n the butter chicken spice
Allow to cook for 3 minutes before adding the milk
Add the chicken back in and simmer for 5 minutes
You can add in fried potatoes if you’d like as well at this point. Next you can drain your rice that has been soaking and add it to your chicken. Stir frequently to prevent sticking to the pot. Add a little water at a time to help the rice cook if and when necessary
Once the rice has absorbed all the liquid you may garnish with chopped dhania and fried onions 🌻✨
