i am a vegetarian and lactose intolerant, so butter chicken? really?
HECK YES! i have adapted myself a recipe! i use veggies and fake chicken
(president’s choice. best thing ever) but really it’s all about the
sauce! you could put anything you wanted in it in place of chicken!!
note also, the butter is actually not mandatory, i often don’t add
butter. without it, this recipe is VEGAN! YAY! AND if you were to use
real chicken, or tofu instead of PC fake chicken, it would also be
GLUTEN FREE. huzzah!
ingredients:
2 large tomatoes, chopped
1 med onion, sliced thin
3 fake chicken breasts (or a similar amount of tofu)
2-3 c veggies
1 med onion, sliced thin

1 t salt
1 t cumin
2 T kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves)*
1/2 c soaked almonds or almond butter

1/3 c butter (or less if you want it to be better for you - i often use none at all)

1 T ginger
1/4 t cinnamon
1/2 t turmeric
1 t chili powder
1 T coriander

2 T kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves)*
1/2 c soaked almonds or almond butter
1 can coconut milk
1 T lemon juice
1/3 c butter (or less if you want it to be better for you - i often use none at all)
to make:
* i buy kasuri methi in the import section of the superstore. i am
sure you also could get it from an import store. it looks like this:
** i have experimented - the first directions following are the
original directions that i used. BUT i am working evenings this week, so
i decided to try it in the slow cooker. those directions follow**
normal procedure:
mix all the sauce ingredients in a blender. blend until well mixed.
fry your tomatoes, onion, veggies and chicken/tofu about 10 minutes, then add the sauce.
simmer 5-10 minutes/until the veggies are soft and the sauce is
reduced a bit (**disclaimer. if you are using real chicken, please know
how to cook it. i have no idea**)
serve with rice and/or naan bread!
slow cooker procedure:
mix all sauce ingredients in a blender.
blend until mixed!
throw tomatoes, onion, veggies, chicken and sauce into the slow cooker.
cook for on high for about 3 hours. i started it around noon, so i
just left it on “keep warm” from 3 until we were ready to eat around 6.
serve with rice and/or naan bread!
