Butter Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix the yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, salt, pepper, and marinate the chicken thighs for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown. Add marinated chicken and cook until browned.

  3. 3

    Add Sauces and Spices

    Stir in tomato puree, heavy cream, garam masala, cumin powder, and coriander powder. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Beef Curry

  1. 4

    In a large bowl, mix the beef with ginger-garlic paste, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for 30 minutes.

  2. 5

    Sauté Onions

    In a pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent.

  3. 6

    Cook the Beef

    Add the marinated beef to the pot, stirring until browned. Add tomato puree, curry powder, and cumin seeds. Stir well.

  4. 7

    Add Coconut Milk

    Pour in coconut milk and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours until beef is tender.

Naan & Garlic Naan

  1. 8

    Prepare the Dough

    In a bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for 10 minutes until frothy. Mix in flour and salt to form a soft dough.

  2. 9

    Knead and Rest

    Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour.

  3. 10

    Shape the Naan

    Divide the dough into equal portions, roll them out into oval shapes. For garlic naan, sprinkle minced garlic on top and roll again.

  4. 11

    Cook the Naan

    Cook on a hot skillet for 2 minutes on each side until browned. Brush with melted butter before serving.

Rice

  1. 12

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 13

    Cook the Rice

    In a pot, bring water to a boil and add salt. Stir in the rinsed rice, cover, and reduce heat. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until cooked.

Raita

  1. 14

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine yogurt, grated cucumber, chopped mint leaves, cumin powder, salt, and mix well.

  2. 15

    Chill and Serve

    Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.

Chicken Tikka

  1. 16

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, cumin powder, lemon juice, salt, and cubed chicken. Marinate for at least 1 hour.

  2. 17

    Prepare Skewers

    Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

  3. 18

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until fully cooked.
