Butter Chicken with Rice

Instructions

1. 1

   Start the rice according to the package. Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces and season with 1 tsp garam masala and 1 tsp salt.

2. 2

   Melt 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the chicken 5 minutes; it doesn't need to be cooked through yet. Move to a plate.

3. 3

   Melt the remaining butter, add the finely diced onion, and cook 5 minutes until soft. Stir in the garlic, grated ginger, and the rest of the garam masala for 1 minute.

4. 4

   Pour in the tomato sauce and simmer 5 minutes, then stir in the cream.

5. 5

   Return the chicken and simmer 8-10 minutes until cooked through and the sauce is thick. Season with salt.

6. 6

   Serve over rice with chopped cilantro. The sauce is mild, so it's a good first curry for kids; add cayenne to adult portions.
