BUTTER CHICKEN

This is my version of butter chicken .....
I use the filleted meat from chicken drumsticks  ( 4 drumsticks per serve )
Once the drumsticks have been skinned and filleted place the meat in a large bowl .
In a separate bowl prepare the butter chicken marinade combining ......( per 750 gm of chicken )
1/4 cup of plain yoghurt  , 1 tbs of lemon juice , finely chopped rind of 1/2 lemon ,1 tsp of turmeric powder , 1 dsp of  garam masala, 1/2 tsp of cayenne powder ,1 tsp of cumin 1 tbs of minced garlic , 1 tbs of minced ginger .
Mix the marinade ingredients together and  pour over the chicken meat making sure it is well combined .
Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours
To make the sauce
Sauté 2 peeled and chopped onions with 1 chopped capsicum , 1 tbs of minced garlic , 1 tbs of turmeric, 1 tbs of minced garlic , 1 x 400gm tin of diced tomatoes , 1x 400ml of coconut cream , juice and finely chopped rind of 1 medium lemon ,     1 small red chilli chopped , salt and cracked pepper to taste , chopped florets of 1/2 cauliflower  and 2 stalks of celery trimmed and chopped .
Place the sauce in your slow cooker and stir through the marinated drumsticks.
Place on low for 4 hours until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens .
Steam a mix of brown rice ,  quinoa  and red rice .
Serve in  heated bowls and spoon over the butter chicken ..and dress with fresh coriander leaves .
