Trust us when we say, this one will be a family favourite! Inspired by the traditional Indian Butter Chicken, we endeavored to replicated the authentic taste whilst re-creating our own gut friendly version, because we believe your IBS shouldn’t mean you have to miss out on curry!
This recipe is a mild gut friendly version of a Butter Chicken curry. It is rich in flavour, deliciously creamy and of course, gut friendly!
Ingredients
1 tbsp butter
-
3 tbsp ‘Butter Me Up’ spice mix
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 can crushed tomatoes
600g boneless/skinless chicken thighs cut into 3 cm chucks *
-
250ml cream (or coconut cream if lactose intolerant)
Rice for serving
Coriander (optional for garnish)
Directions
Melt butter in a pot or deep pan. Add spice mix and cook for 1 min.
Add tomato paste and crushed tomatoes and simmer for 5 min.
Add the chicken (or tofu for a vegetarian option) and simmer for about 5-6 min or until chicken is cooked through.
Stir in the cream and simmer for a further 5 min.
Serve with rice and garnished with chopped coriander.
Tip: We recommend adding in your choice of low FODMAP vegetables (in between step 3 and 4) such as diced carrots, green beans, red capsicum or eggplant.
* Substitute chicken with 600g of firm tofu for a vegetarian friendly option
