Fast Butter Chicken
An incredibly fast and delicious homemade butter chicken recipe made in under 30 minutes, designed to beat the speed of restaurant takeout while maintaining rich, bold flavors. Chef's tips: (1) Skipping the marinating time is essential to keep this recipe under 30 minutes, but thoroughly massaging the spices into the chicken helps infuse flavor quickly. (2) Using a pressure cooker is the fastest way to get perfectly cooked rice concurrently with the curry. (3) Stirring in cold butter off the heat (monter au beurre) is crucial to emulsify the sauce, making it rich and glossy without splitting.
