No garam masala, no trip through the oven. Butter, chicken, curry powder, coconut milk and a can of condensed tomato soup, and that is the whole list. I found this one a very long time ago and I still make it, because thirty minutes and one skillet is what a Tuesday can afford. Call it an easy butter chicken recipe and you are not lying to anybody: it is fast, it is rich, and nobody at my table has ever asked where the tandoor went.<\/p>\n<h3>\ud83e\udd66 <strong>The vegetables cook in the sauce, so supper is finished<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Here is what makes it different from every other butter chicken recipe I have come across. The cauliflower and the green beans go straight into the pan and cook in the curry itself. Everywhere else, butter chicken is a sauce you spoon over rice, and then you still owe the table a vegetable. Not here. The cauliflower soaks up the coconut milk and the curry powder until it turns soft, the beans stay green and keep their snap, and a pot of basmati rice closes the file.<\/p>\n<h3>\ud83e\uddca <strong>The freezer batch my kids ask for by name<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This is the part I would keep if I had to throw the rest away. I make a huge batch, then fill freezer containers with basmati rice on one side and butter chicken with its vegetables on the other. Weeknights when nothing is moving fast enough, I pull one out, tip it into an aluminum tray and slide it into the oven. The kids clean the plate like it is nothing. One afternoon of cooking, suppers for weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83c\udf5b An easy butter chicken that actually happens on a Tuesday No yogurt marinade.
