Istruzioni

Butter Chicken Meatball Prepartion

Preheat your oven to 375 F. and line a baking sheet with foil.

In a large mixing bowl, combine all the meatball ingredients. Mix well to combine by using your hands.

Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon sized measuring spoon to make even sized meatballs. This will make approxiamtely 24 meatballs.

Place each meatball onto the prepared baking sheet, slightly spaced out. on the Bake for 12 minutes. Broil the meatballs for 2-3 minutes or until slightly browned on the tops. Remove from the oven and set them aside.

Butter Chicken Sauce Preparation

While the meatballs are baking, melt the butter or ghee in a large saucepan on medium-low heat. Once melted add in the small diced onion. Sauté until translucent, about 4-5 minutes.

Add the garlic and all the remaining spices (salt, cumin, garam masala, and coriander). Allow this to cook on low until it smells fragrant.

Whisk in the tomato paste, then slowly whisk in the full fat coconut milk. If your heat is too high the sauce can separate, so watch your temperature and whisk often.

Add the chicken meatballs into the sauce to fully coat and combine. Let them simmer for 2-3 minutes before serving over basmati rice or with naan.
