Steps to make Murg Makhani (Butter Chicken):
- 1To begin making the Butter Chicken, first prepare the marinade for the chicken pieces by mixing together the mentioned ingredients.
- Wash the chicken thoroughly and drain all water. Cut into desired size chunks. Rub the lemon juice and 1 tsp ginger garlic paste on all pieces.
- Keep aside for about 15 minutes. Then squeeze all pieces well (not too hard) and transfer to another bowl.
- Marinate the pieces with the prepared mixture and keep aside for about an hour.
- In the meantime soak the cashews and magaz seeds in hot water for about an hour.
- Drain and grind to a smooth paste.
- Heat sufficient water in a pan for blanching the tomatoes. At the smooth end of the tomatoes make a small cross sign with a knife. This helps easy peeling after blanching. When the water is hot, add the tomatoes and immerse for approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Remove from the hot water onto a plate. The peels at the end where the cross sign was made will start coming off. Peel the tomatoes and grind to a puree.
- Grind the onion to a smooth paste.
- In a kadhai, heat oil. Add butter and heat. Now add the whole spices. When they splutter add the onion paste and cook.
- Cook till it changes colour. Now add the ginger garlic paste and saute.
- Add the tomato puree and mix. Bring to a boil and cook. Add the spice powders and salt.
- When the tomatoes are cooked add the cashew magaz paste and mix well. Cook for a while. Add sugar and some water to bring the gravy to a medium consistency. Check seasoning.
- On a hot griddle spread the kasuri methi for about a minute. Crush it with fingers and then add to the gravy. Turn off the heat and keep aside.
- Heat a pan. Add the oil and butter. When hot add the chicken pieces and shallow fry on both sides till done and a bit charred.
- At the same time when frying the chicken, heat a piece of coal on open flame till the red ambers are seen.
- Place a small bowl at the centre of the pan in which the tandoor pieces are kept and place the hot red coal in it. Pour a few drops of oil on the coal and immediately shut the pan with a lid. Place a heavy weight over it. Keep covered for about 2 minutes.
- Open the lid and remove the charcoal. This process imparts to the chicken pieces a smoked tandoor flavour.
- Either shred these pieces or add them to the prepared gravy as it is and bring to a boil. Check seasoning and spices. Add any if desired. Adjust the consistency by adding some water if required.
- Turn off the heat and add the cream and mix well.
- Serve the absolutely delicious Murg Makhani with khastaa paratha and some Biryani Rice.
