Velvet Butter Chicken

Featuring Divine Garam Masala

Ingredients
  • 600 g Boneless chicken, cut into pieces
  • 2 tbsp Divine Garam Masala
  • 1 tsp Sacred Turmeric Elixir Blend
  • 1 tsp Sacred Red Chilli Blend
  • 1 cup Full-fat yoghurt
  • 3 tbsp Butter
  • 2 tbsp Oil
  • 1 large Onion, finely chopped
  • 4 medium Tomatoes, pureed
  • 0.5 cup Fresh cream
  • 1 tsp Salt, to taste
  • 1 handful Fresh coriander

Slow-cooked in a cardamom-kissed tomato sauce with a silky butter finish — this butter chicken elevates a classic to a sacred ritual. The secret is finishing with Divine Garam Masala off the heat.

The Sacred Method
1

Marinate chicken in yoghurt, 1 tbsp Divine Garam Masala, turmeric blend, and chilli blend. Rest for at least 1 hour, overnight for best results.

2

In a heavy pan, heat 1 tbsp butter and oil together. Sear the marinated chicken in batches until golden on the outside. Remove and set aside.

3

In the same pan, add remaining butter. Cook onions until deeply golden — about 12 minutes on medium heat.

4

Add pureed tomatoes and cook down until the oil separates and the sauce is thick and fragrant — about 10 minutes.

5

Return chicken to the pan. Add salt and ½ cup water. Cover and simmer 15 minutes until chicken is cooked through.

6

Reduce heat to lowest. Stir in cream gently. Add remaining 1 tbsp Divine Garam Masala. Stir once and remove from heat immediately to keep the aroma fresh.

7

Garnish with fresh coriander and a swirl of cream. Serve with warm naan or basmati rice.
