Instructions

  1. 1
    Step 1 — Indian Butter Chicken

    Get everything ready before the heat goes on: pat the chopped chicken dry with paper towels (dry chicken browns instead of steaming), grate the ginger, and juice the lemon.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat for about 1 minute, until it shimmers.

  3. 3
    Step 3 — Indian Butter Chicken

    Add the chicken, garlic, and garam masala and stir to coat. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often, until the spices are fragrant and the chicken is lightly golden at the edges.

  4. 4
    Step 4 — Indian Butter Chicken

    Stir in the ginger and continue cooking for about 4 to 5 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through with no pink remaining in the center.

  5. 5
    Step 5 — Indian Butter Chicken

    Turn the heat down to medium and add the lemon juice and butter. Let the butter melt completely, about 1 minute, stirring so it coats the chicken.

  6. 6
    Step 6 — Indian Butter Chicken

    Add the diced tomatoes and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan; they carry a lot of flavor. Let the pan come back up to a gentle simmer, about 1 to 2 minutes, until small bubbles appear around the edges.

  7. 7
    Step 7 — Indian Butter Chicken

    Reduce the heat to low and stir in the yogurt and sour cream until the sauce is smooth and creamy; keeping the heat gentle stops the dairy from curdling.

  8. 8
    Step 8 — Indian Butter Chicken

    Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot, spooned over rice if you like, with any extra sauce ladled over the top.
