WHY THESE CHEATS ?

​

"The number one question I receive when making this recipe is – “Do you need to use Kasoori Methi?”. My short answer is no. This dish is wonderful without it, and I’ve made it both ways, and you can skip it. I prefer bone-in over boneless chicken; the flavour is always better. To save time, prep the chicken with the marinade a day ahead of time. For long term planning, marinate the chicken for 30 minutes, then freeze for two weeks. When ready to use, thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Fret not if you’re out of Kashmiri chilli powder at home; for every 1 tsp of Kashmiri chilli powder, use ¾ tsp ground smoked sweet paprika and ¼ tsp ground cayenne. If you want the butter chicken hotter, add cayenne." - MR HANS​

EXTRAS:

Sweetcorn

Baby New Potatoes

Butter & Olive Oil

Freshly Chopped Parsley

METHOD:

Butter chicken is one of the most famous dishes associated with Indian restaurants, and if you have a craving, this is the recipe for you. Butter chicken uses tandoori chicken cooked in a tandoor (a type of Indian oven) that gives the chicken, subsequently, a wonderful smoky flavor. To replicate the smokiness, I roast the chicken in the oven and then broil it quickly. Serve this fragrant chicken dish with its decadent fiery red velvety sauce with kachumber salad

​

MEATLOAF

​

  • Preheat your oven to 190°C or 170°C fan

  • If using sausages, remove their skins and leave the meat to one side (discard the unwanted sausage skins)

  • Soften the chopped onions in a pan for 5 minutes on a low heat with a little butter or olive oil until translucent

  • Transfer the soften onions to a large mixing bowl and leave to cool

  • Once the softened onions are cool, add the lean minced beef & sausage meat along with all the other meatloaf ingredients and completely mix together

  • Transfer the meatloaf mixture to the ovenproof loaf tin / dish and cover with aluminium foil

  • Bake in the oven for 2 hours. (remove the aluminium foil for the last half hour of cooking)

  • Remove the meatloaf from the oven and drain off any excess fat from the tin

  • Let the meatloaf rest; while you make the spicy BBQ sauce (you can of course reheat the spicy BBQ sauce if you have made it prior)

  • Carefully remove the meatloaf from the loaf tin / dish and place on a suitable board or large serving plate

  • Spread some of the spicy BBQ sauce over the top of the meatloaf and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley to garnish
