Preparation

  1. Prepare Butter Chicken Sauce

    • First, puree the soaked cashews and canned tomatoes together. Set aside.
    • In a heavy bottom pot, melt the ghee or butter.
    • Add the whole cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves. 
    • Cook in the butter until fragrant and beginning to pop in the pan. 
    • Add the ginger garlic paste and sauté until translucent.
    • Turn the heat down to medium and add the remaining spices, except the fenugreek. 
    • Sauté together, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. At this point, the ingredients will appear to clump together. Continue stirring the pan and breaking up the ingredients.
    • Add the tomato cashew puree to the pan. 
    • Scrape up all the spices from the bottom of the pan and incorporate into the tomato. 
    • Simmer sauce, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half.
    • Add the water and reduce a second time.
    • At this point, if your sauce is not completely smooth, carefully process in a blender until velvety, then return to the pot.
    • Add Knorr Culinary Cream, sugar and dried fenugreek.
    • Add more hot water to adjust thickness, if necessary. The sauce should be easily pourable.
    • Taste the sauce and adjust spices and seasoning, as needed.
    • The Butter Sauce is now complete and can be stored in refrigeration for 3 days or frozen for 6 months.

  2. Prepare Chicken

    • Combine all marinade ingredients. 
    • Taste the marinade and make any changes to your preference. 
    • Thoroughly mix with the chicken. Refrigerate overnight.
    • Scatter the chicken, in marinade, across a sheet pan. Do not crowd the pan.
    • Broil chicken until browned, even blackened on the corners, and tender to the bite. 
    • Chicken can now go directly into hot sauce or be cooled and refrigerated for 3 days, or frozen for 6 months.

      *Dumping the chicken jus and oils from the sheet pan into the sauce will add flavor but will also thin the sauce.

  3. Assemble the Poutine

    • Fry and season french fries.
    • Combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, cucumber, and onion. This can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 3 days. This takes the place on an Indian Raita, a common condiment served along many Indian dishes. 
    • Bring the Butter Sauce to a simmer.
    • Add the prepared chicken and paneer “curds” and simmer for 3-5 minutes, until the chicken is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 74C.
    • Taste and adjust seasonings and sauce thickness.
    • Top fries with Butter Chicken and paneer curds, in sauce, chopped cilantro and raita. Serve immediately.
