Back in early 2000, when I first moved to Langkawi, I remember this one shop around Pantai Tengah /Chenang junction called Boom Boom Corner, selling various types of roti and curry.
I remember only trying the butter chicken (rm6 for a small plate) with 4 roti boom (rm1 per piece) and I was hooked...
This dish gets better the more you reheat it... I usually make more than I can eat so I can have some on my toast or pasta...
So let's make : Butter Chicken (serves 3-4)
Chicken:
1 small grilled chicken/tandoori left over (I use slow-cooked shredded chicken meat that I brown in a wok before adding to the sauce)
Tomato sauce:
1 cinnamon
3 cardamom
1kg chopped Tomatoes (big ones, small ones, doesn't matter but make sure they're ripe)
Method:
Heat oil. Saute cinnamon and cardamom till fragrant. Add tomatoes. Cook till soft. Set to cool. Blend everything and strain.
Additional ingredients :
1/4 stick butter
3 tbsp chopped almond
1 tbsp paprika powder
2 tbsp cream/fresh yogurt
Coriander leaf
Putting them together :
Melt butter. Add in prepared tomato sauce, cook until oil separates. Add paprika powder.
Add chopped almond and chicken. Bring to boil. Add yogurt/cream and serve with rice, with bread, with roti boom... Topped with chopped fresh coriander leaves...
Note : No additional seasoning needed if using salted butter.
