Whole30 Indian Butter Chicken

When I want to cook a dish for the first time, I typically select the best parts of a few highly rated recipes to make one super dish. I hate wasting food (and ultimately money), so when trying something new I aim to make it tasty…the first time! So, unsurprisingly when I decided to make Indian Butter Chicken, I followed the same process. As I scoured the web and noted what seemed to be a list of a bazillion essential spices (including one I might have to get shipped), I realized the awesomeness of Pure Indian Foods’ Indian Spice Starter Kit and the recipe that came with it. The kit, which comes with 6 spices (including one 5 spice mixture) was as promised:  everything I needed to make Indian food at home. I paired this dish with a cauliflower rice. The recipe below is slightly different from the version that came with the spices kit – it adjusts for my salt preferences and the fact that I wanted to make this a Whole30 meal. Enjoy!

  • 1lbs chicken breast, cubed
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne
  • 1 tsp ginger
  • 3 tbsp Pure Indian Foods organic ghee
  • 2 tsp Pure Indian Foods Indian Five Spice
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 shallots, chopped (an onion will work fine but I had shallots that I needed to use)
  • 1 jalapeno (optional – I don’t seed these and always chop them last to contain the spice)
  • 1/2 cup coconut cream (I got mine from Trader Joes)

Directions

  1. Cube chicken on a cutting board
  2. Season chicken with sea salt, coriander, garam masala, turmeric, cayenne, and ginger. I mix the cubes with a clean fork after sprinkling the spices on top.
  3. Heat ghee in dutch oven over medium heat
  4. Add Indian Five Spice to ghee and cook until it makes a popping sound (~2 minutes)
  5. Add garlic, tomatoes, shallots and jalapenos to the Five Spice mixture. Cook for ~5 minutes – the tomatoes will be slightly browned and the rest of the veggies will be tender.
  6. Add chicken and cook for ~3 minutes
  7. Add coconut cream and simmer for ~25 minutes (You just want the chicken to cook).
