Easy Homemade Chicken Butter Masala

Chicken butter masala at home is easier than you think and tastes better than takeout.

Start by marinating one pound of chicken pieces in yogurt, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt

for thirty minutes. This tenderizes the meat perfectly. While that sits, make your base sauce.

Heat two tablespoons of butter in a pan and add one diced onion. Cook until golden

brown. Then add three minced garlic cloves and one inch of grated ginger.

Stir for one minute until fragrant. Now add your spices. One tablespoon of garam masala,

one teaspoon of turmeric, one teaspoon of paprika, and one teaspoon

of coriander powder. Mix everything together and let the spices bloom for thirty seconds.
