Butter Chicken - "Awesome" as per NoChemistry

Background: We just went through a nasty flu, and had very few fresh ingredients at home. I did have a lot of freezer and canned stuff. I did have fresh yoghurt and wondered if I could do a butter chicken without cream. Et voila. No Chemistry - a self professed Butter Chicken Connoisseur- loved this.

To be honest, I thought it turned out quite tasty. It definitely had a yoghurty taste, as opposed to a creamy-only taste. My (other) super easy butter chicken recipe is considerably easier.

1 tbsp oil
1 tbsp butter
1 bunch spring onions
2 medium tomatoes chopped
2 tbsp tomato paste
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 inch cube ginger, minced
1 cup yoghurt, preferably 3%
1/2 tsp garam masala
kasoori methi, as needed
salt, as needed

10-12 pieces Chicken thighs sliced
1-1.5 tbsp tandoori masala
1/2 large lime juice
3 large green chillies sliced
1 bunch fresh coriander leaves

Fry garlic, ginger, onions in oil and butter.
Add tomatoes, tomato paste. Fry till oil separates.
Add yoghurt. Fry till oil separates. Warning: This will splutter like a volcano as seen on National Geographic.
Add garam masala. Add salt to taste.

In separate pan, cook chicken, lemon juice, tandoori masala and green chillies. Add salt to taste.

Add chicken to yoghurt sauce/curry. Add Kasoori Methi, Coriander Leaves.

Heat through.

Serve with Tandoori Roti or Naan.

Spicy Garlic Shrimp

20 shrimps peeled, washed
6 cloves of garlic chopped
1 Tbsp Asian garlic and red chilli paste
1 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tsp oil

Heat the oil in a pan. Add garlic. Saute till light golden in colour.
Add garlic and red chilli paste. Cook for 1 minute on medium-low heat.
Add shrimps and soy sauce.
Cover and cook just until shrimps are done. As soon as the shrimps turn pink, they are cooked.
Don't over cook your shrimps.

Enjoy!

(This can be served over some garden salad or Rice or even Rice Noodles. Use your imagination!)
