So the Autumn equinox has come and gone and it is officially Fall. I’m not going to pretend like I remembered on my own that it was the equinox, my Instagram feed was flooded with celebratory photos featuring apples and pumpkin and tricolor maple leaves galore so by the 9th or 10th image I caught on to the theme. Besides the surplus of pumpkin flavored baked goods making an appearance in my kitchen and the candied pecan scented candle I’ve nearly burned to the ground in the past week, I’ve been indulging in a plethora of comfort foods. Yes there’s the typical creamy pastas and pot roast, but went I’m really craving good comfort food I tend to lean toward something a little more bold. Today it’s an Indian dish called Butter Chicken. Ever tried it?? Don’t let the name fool you, there isn’t an ounce of butter in this dish. This Indian butter chicken is sooo yummy, and is incredibly easy to make. Really. Do you have 30 minutes? (You do.) Then you can make this dish. First, you sauté the chicken and spices in a pan right on the stove, just for a few minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Then add the last few ingredients and let the whole thing simmer for 10-15 minutes, just to get all of that awesome flavor cookin’. And that’s it! Serve it up over some rice and top it all with some peanuts and cilantro and presto – saucy comfort food right on the table.
