Delicious Butter Chicken by Masterchef’s Ilse Nel for RSG
July 18, 2012 in Uncategorized
I have had many renditions of butter chicken in my life and I have heard so many explanations for the name butter chicken, but I can truly say I have NEVER eaten Butter Chicken quite as delicious as today’s lunch. In true Masterchef style, Ilse Nel, made a killer version of this popular Indian Curry. My only problem with the curry was
that it was not nearly enough. I could have had it again for supper, no problem! It is however, as I one can derive from the name, not a dish for the faint-hearted when it comes to calories. Butter chicken does not refer to the tenderness of the chicken, but as I suspected the dish is laden with butter, yogurt and yes…..wait for it….cream. Utterly decadent and scandalously delicious!
