Butter Chicken

When I first saw the pictures of this dish at Nasi Lemak Lover blog I know I have to cook this. She is kind enough to share the recipe with us. She didn’t give the actual measurements to the ingredients but cook it according to her own experiences and adjust the taste to her liking. So this is my take on the dish and thanks Nasi Lemak Lover for sharing this wonderful dish.

Ingredients:

2 pieces of chicken breast – cut to 1/2" cubes
1 clove of garlic – chopped
2 tbsp soy sauce
½ tsp pepper
½ tsp of dark soy sauce
1 egg white
3 tbsp of cornstarch or rice flour

Mix all the above ingredients together except for the cornstarch for 30 minutes. Coat the chicken with the cornstarch and fry the chicken pieces with some oil until golden brown. Drain the oil and set it aside.

2 cloves of garlic
10 curry leaves
3 Thai chilies
2 tbsp of butter
¼ cup of evaporated milk
1 tsp of sugar
Salt and pepper to taste

1. Heat up the butter, sauté the garlic, chilies and curry leaves until fragrant and lightly brown.
2. Add in fried chicken pieces and mix well. Add in sugar, salt and pepper to taste. Mix really well.
3. Add in the milk and give it a quick stir for a few seconds until the chicken absorb all the milk. Dish out and serve hot with rice.

This sounds good, but I am a little confused with the directions. When and how do you use the sauce that you mixed up in the beginning?
