Simple Butter Chicken recipe with minimum ingredients
We had gone for dinner to Mumtaaz aunty’s house. She had made I think 7 main dishes. I dont eat meat, but she had made enough vegetables and chicken, so I was one happy gal! I wish I had taken my camera, she had butter chicken, chick peas, green bell pepper with lots of peas (I loved this combination of vegetable, I have the recipe, I am going to post it after this one), chops, sheekh kebabs, and lamb cooked with beans (again unusual combination).
I liked this butter chicken, it is a recipe that you can make anytime, requires less effort, and minimum number of ingredients, and shhhhh dont tell anyone, it doesnt have butter in it 
So people watching weight, around the world, try this one, you will have a happy stomach and a healthy heart!
Ingredients:
boneless chicken breast, cut in bite sized chunks
onions chopped (about 1 onion onion for 2 chicken breast)
ginger and garlic grated
salt,
spices: red chilli powder (mirchi), cumin powder (zeera), corriander powder (dhania)
3-4 tbsp tomato sauce
2-3 tbsp sour cream
water and oil for cooking
Method:
First heat the oil, start frying the onions till they are reddish brown. Add the chicken, salt, ginger and garlic, fry till all the water evaporates, and the pieces look oily/shiny. Add the spices, fry for a minute, add the tomato sauce, again fry nicely for a long time (till oil seperates). Add sour cream mix well, finally add water to get a sauce like consistency. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or till the chicken is tender.
Now didnt I tell you, this was easy-breezy!
