Today I show you how I made Butter Chicken, this recipe was actually from the Salesian Recipe Book, I had made it before and thought it was perfect for Food Culture! This is a long blog post, so sit back relax and enjoy!
Ingredients: Marinade: ½ cup plain full-fat yoghurt 1 tbsp. lemon juice 1 tsp. turmeric powder 2 tsp. garam masala ½ tsp. chilli powder 1 tsp. ground cumin 1 tbsp. fresh grated ginger 2 tsp. crushed garlic 2 chicken thigh fillets, chopped into bite size pieces Curry: 1 tbsp. vegetable oil 1 cup tomato passata 1 tbsp. sugar 1 ¼ tsp. salt 1 cup cream ½ cup long grain rice Method: 1. Combine the marinade ingredients in a medium silver bowl. 2. Cut chicken into bite size pieces and toss in marinade. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for 15 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, fill half of a medium saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add rice and cook until tender and fluffy. 4. Heat the vegetable oil over a high heat in a large frypan. 5. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook in the heated fry pan for around 3 minutes, or until the chicken is all white on the outside. 6. Add the tomato passata, sugar and salt. Turn down to low and simmer for 20 minutes. 7. Season with more salt if necessary. Remove from heat. 8. Stir through the cream and serve on top of rice with a garnish of coriander. Sensory Analysis: Taste: Spicy, Flavourful and Scrumptious Texture: Soft, Creamy and Buttery Aroma: Strong, Tasty and Savory Appearance: Orange, Bright and Delicious Family Star Rating: 4.5 / 5 Reflection: During this cook session, I was the head chef who took charge with my amazing mum helping me out along the way, and together we made my family a delicious meal! This recipe fits in with the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating, as it contains protein, dairy and carbohydrates. Food culture is defined as the practices, attitudes and beliefs of a country to influence the food they create. Tonight, I created a Indian dish, which commonly involve different spices, rice and different meats. Other foods that this culture created include; tandoori chicken, chicken tikka masala, samosas and biryani. Although specific foods are made by specific countries and cultures, society as a whole welcomes all of these and most countries have all different types of cultural food in their area. Thank you for reading this week's food blog and get ready for next week with a family favourite!
