Zubereitung von Butter Chicken Murg Makhani
- **Marinate the Chicken:** In a bowl, combine 2 tbsp plain yogurt, 2 tbsp tandoori masala, 1 tsp salt. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 days (longer is better!).
- **Prepare the Aromatics:** Mince 4 cloves garlic and 1 medium onion into a fine paste.
- **Make Tomato Puree:** Liquidize 28 oz (1 large can) of chopped tomatoes.
- **Sauté the Onions:** Melt 4 tbsp butter in a large deep saucepan over medium heat. Gently sauté the onion paste for 1 minute.
- **Bloom the Spices:** Add 1 tsp ginger powder, 1 tsp garam masala, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp chili powder, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional), 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and stir well for 30 seconds.
- **Simmer the Sauce:** Add the tomato paste (2 tbsp), tomato puree, and 1 cup chicken stock. Stir well and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- **Add the Chicken:** Add the marinated chicken to the sauce and simmer for 5 more minutes.
- **Creamy Finish:** Stir in 1 cup heavy cream, 2 tbsp plain yogurt, 2 tbsp powdered almonds, and 1 cinnamon stick.
- **Simmer & Check:** Simmer gently for 30 minutes, stirring regularly. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Remove the cinnamon stick.
- **Oven Bake (Optional):** Transfer to an ovenproof dish. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, for a richer flavor and slightly browned top.
- **Serve:** Serve hot over basmati rice or naan bread.
