Butter Chicken
  1. Prep the saffron, by adding hot water and 2 strands to a bowl. Combine the marinade ingredients with the chicken in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hrs.

  2. Cook chicken: Heat the ghee (butter or oil) over high heat in a large fry pan. Take the chicken out and shake off the marinade from the chicken.

  3. Place chicken in the fry pan and cook for around 3 minutes, or until the chicken is white all over (it doesn't really brown because of the marinade).

  4. Add the tomato sauce, coconute milk, bay leaf, star anise, sugar and salt. Also add any remaining marinade left in the bowl. Allow it to come to a gentle simmer, then turn down to very low and simmer for 10 minutes. Do a taste test to see if it needs more salt. (this will keep the chicken tender)

  5. Once done add in cream, to prevent curdling.

  6. Garnish with coriander/cilantro leaves if using. Serve with basmati rice or naan
