Butter Chicken Indian Pizza Recipes

BUTTER CHICKEN PIZZA

Steps:

• Prepare your butter chicken according to the directions on the sauce -chopping chicken in bite size pieces, cooking chicken in 1 tbsp of oil, adding sauce, and simmering. To make it more creamy, add heavy cream at the end.
• To make the carmelized onions, begin by slicing the onion. Add 1 tbsp of oil to a frying pan and sautee over a medium to low heat. Add 2 tbsp of sugar and cook until the onions are dark and soft, taking care not to burn them.
• To assemble the pizzas, place the Naan bread on a baking tray. Divide the butter chicken between the four Naan breads. Now add the carmalized onions, dividing them evenly over the 4 pizzas. Top each pizza with 1/2 cup of grated mozerella cheese.
• Bake the pizza at 400 in a pre-heated oven, for about 10 min. until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
• Before serving top each pizza with chopped fresh cilantro, and a drizzle of plain yogurt. Enjoy!

THE BEST BUTTER CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the marinade: Whisk together the yogurt, salt, ginger and garlic in a large bowl until combined. Toss the chicken in the seasoned yogurt marinade until evenly coated. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 3 hours and up to 24. (Overnight works best.)
• For the sauce: Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large Dutch oven or wide heavy pot over medium heat. Toss the fenugreek seeds, bay leaves, cardamom, cinnamon and clove in the butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly darker and very fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the onions, season with 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden and beginning to caramelize, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, until very fragrant and the ginger starts to turn golden and sticks to the bottom of the pot, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garam masala and chili powder and cook, stirring occasionally, until very fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, breaking them up into pieces with a spoon, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced by half and the tomatoes are very tender, about 30 minutes. Discard the bay leaves and cinnamon stick (but leave the other whole spices).
• Let the hot sauce cool for about 5 minutes or so, then transfer it to a blender filling no more than halfway. Remove the center cap from the lid and place it on the blender. Cover the lid with a kitchen towel to catch splatters, and pulse until smooth. (If your blender is small, you may need to work in batches.) Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the cream to the blender and puree until creamy. Pour into a clean pot and bring to a simmer. Season with salt.
• Meanwhile, arrange a rack directly under the broiler and preheat to high. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and set a wire rack inside.
• Arrange the chicken in a single layer on the rack. Broil until the chicken starts to brown in spots, 3 to 6 minutes per side (it will not be cooked through). Remove from the broiler. When cool enough to handle, cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces. Add the chicken to the simmering sauce, cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Stir in the cilantro. Serve with rice and naan alongside.

SAVORY BUTTER CHICKEN PIZZA

Steps:

• Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. Combine yogurt, ginger paste, garlic paste, garam masala, cumin, turmeric, chili powder, salt, and lemon juice for marinade in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Mix ingredients together, then add chicken and toss to combine. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours.
• Heat butter for sauce in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, chicken stock, ginger paste, garlic paste, cumin, chili powder, fenugreek, coriander, salt, and jalapeno. Stir in heavy cream and garam masala. Reduce heat and let simmer.
• Meanwhile, remove chicken from marinade and cook in a grill pan over medium-high heat until about 75% done, 3 to 5 minutes, flipping halfway though.
• Use an immersion blender or electric blender to puree the sauce to desired consistency. Add chicken to the sauce and continue to simmer until chicken is cooked through and flavors have melded, about 10 more minutes.
• While sauce simmers, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Drizzle naan breads with olive oil.
• Bake naan in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
• While naan is baking, remove sauce from heat and let cool to room temperature.
• Remove naan from the oven and cover with a layer of butter sauce. Top with some of the paneer and jalapenos; add chunks of butter chicken, cilantro, and more paneer cheese. Reserve remaining paneer for topping after baking.
• Return to the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove and sprinkle with remaining paneer and cilantro. Serve.
