An enticing display of various Indian dishes, featuring curries and side dishes, set on a marble table indoors.

Method

  1. Gather and prep everything first: yellow onion, garlic, fresh ginger and set within reach of the stove.
  2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the fresh ginger in a little butter until translucent.
  3. Turn the heat up, add the butter chicken, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
  4. Stir in the coconut milk along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
  5. Add the coconut milk and let it reduce until it just coats the back of a spoon.
  6. Off the heat, brighten it up with a knob of butter and a final crack of pepper.
  7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
