NOTES
Instructions
First toast your almonds in a dry pan by shaking the pan frequently so that they don't burn. We need to do that so that we can blitz the almonds in the blender into fine almond flour. Keep the almond flour at the side for later. Easy Butter Chicken Recipe - Murgh Makhani www.masalaherb.com
Then rinse the chicken, tap dry with a kitchen towel and cut into bite size cubes. Place into a bowl. Easy Butter Chicken Recipe - Murgh Makhani www.masalaherb.com
Add to the bowl all at once the ginger garlic paste, yogurt, garam masala, chili powder, turmeric powder, chaat masala, kitchen king masala, food coloring, salt, pepper, the tomato paste, ½ lime and the previously ground almond flour. Mix the whole content well and keep aside to marinate for 20 minutes (the longer the better).
