One-Pot Butter Chicken

Butter chicken is a savory and easy one-pot curry flavored with all my favorite
spices. It's naturally gluten-free and can be dairy-free with coconut
[https://amzn.to/3zVRSY3] cream and vegan butter. This is a very easy version --
prepare it in about the same amount of time as it takes to make side dishes to
go with it.

Instructions

1 Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the oil, butter or
ghee, and onions and cook onions down slowly until lightly golden, about 8-10
minutes.
2 Add ginger and garlic and let cook for 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
3 Stir in the spices until they coat the onions and are well mixed with the oil or
butter.
4 Add the tomato paste or tomatoes and mix thoroughly. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
5 Add the chicken chunks and cook gently until the chicken is mostly cooked
through, about 5 minutes.
6 Stir in the coconut milk [https://amzn.to/3GtbtkM] and simmer for 8-10 minutes,
stirring occasionally. We usually add more coconut milk
[https://amzn.to/3GtbtkM], up to the whole can, because we enjoy the sauce. You
also may find you need to add more coconut milk [https://amzn.to/3GtbtkM] if you
used tomato paste than if you added chopped tomatoes.
7 Serve the butter chicken garnished with cilantro and accompanied by rice, saag,
and some fresh sliced vegetables.
