Butter Chicken
This. Butter Chicken Recipe is my current obsession in recovering from the cheese laden heavy holiday party foods. I didn’t develop a taste for middle eastern food until I was in my 30’s, and I just can’t get enough. The dense, spicy gravy on this classic dish from India is so lovely, but not overstated. It’s muted perfectly by the healthy fats in the lovely coconut milk based sauce, and you can adjust the spice exactly to your liking.

If you’ve had a bad experience with Indian food, then I encourage you to try this, and apply your nose to the spice blends to find one that suits your fancy. It’s all in the spices. Some blends are just off, and they smell something like a Christmas cookie with body odor. Which is why I avoided Indian food for SO long.
But there are some really lovely, well balanced Garam Masala blends out there that will redeem Indian food for you. Try McCormick’s brand at your local grocery store, or Vedica Organics Garam Masala (Amazon affiliate link) blend if you enjoy a little spice.
