Keto Indian Butter Chicken with Cauliflower Rice delights your taste buds!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 4 tablespoons ghee
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, processed into couscous-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by seasoning the chicken with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, and garam masala in a mixing bowl. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- In a large pan, heat avocado oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until it becomes soft and translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
- Incorporate the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until aromatic.
- Introduce the marinated chicken to the pan, cooking until it is golden brown on all sides, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes and let the mixture come to a gentle simmer. Lower the heat, cover the pan, and allow it to cook for 15 minutes to develop the flavors.
- Mix in the coconut cream and ghee, stirring until well combined to create a rich, creamy sauce. Let it simmer for another 5-10 minutes, adjusting the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Meanwhile, prepare the cauliflower couscous. In a separate skillet, warm olive oil over medium heat and add the processed cauliflower. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until it is tender, seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
- Serve the creamy chicken curry atop the cauliflower couscous, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
