Indian Butter Chicken Ingredient

timeless — Tue, 16 Apr 2024 13:03:09 GMT

I have a recipe for my Instant Pot that I want to try.

It calls for 3tsp. gram masala. What is that and where do I find it in the store?

@timeless

Marsala is a wine, hit your liquor store!

Grocery stores have it on the wine aisle too.

@KingstonMom

It says masala, not marsala. I don't know if it's a typo or not.

Is marsala wine ususally in Indian Butter Chicken?

Look in the spice jar section. It is a dried spice mixture.

If you store has an dedicated section for this food style check there too?

It is Garam Masala--a dry spice mixture.

Look in spice aisle or international foods section of large supermarket. If you can't find it there are many recipes online to make your own spice mixture.

I use this all the time with Indian food. Consists of ground spices like cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, cumin, coriander, nutmeg, bay leaf, mace and black pepper. In the spice aisle.

@PinkyPetunia

I'll fix the name in my cookbook. I thought "gram" seemed weird.

Garam Masala!

@timeless What @PinkyPetunia said... I typically buy it in the Indian takeout/grocery store. It comes in smaller packets than the whole jar that the grocery store has. Also available in Mediterranean grocery spots, at least around here it is. In major grocery chains I find it under the O Organics brand or the Organic Great Value brand in walmart.

LOVE butter chicken...enjoy yours

I use the McCormick brand sold at the grocery store. This recipe was given to me by a co-worker. I have made it and find it tasty over rice:

1 onion, chopped

1 tbsp chopped ginger

2 tsp minced garlic

1 tbsp olive oil

2 tsp garam masala

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp cardamom

1/2 tsp coriander

6-oz can tomato paste

2 cups chicken broth

1/2 cup half-and-half

1 1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 3/4" pieces

1/2 tsp pepper

1 tsp salt

3 tbsp butter

Saute onion and ginger in olive oil until onions are clear. Stir in garlic, garam masala, chili powder, cardamom, and coriander for a minute.

Puree mixture in blender with tomato paste and chicken broth until smooth. Pour back into skillet and stir in half-and-half.

Bring to simmer and stir in chicken, salt, and pepper. Simmer until chicken is cooked and sauce is slightly thickened.

Stir butter into sauce until melted.

If you have a Sprouts grocery store in your area, they sell spices in bulk. Buy as little or as much as you want and they are usually a great deal!

Would you please share your recipe?

This is the kind I use too! It adds so much flavor to everything. It is featured heavily in Indian cooking which I love! ❤️
