Chef Janine invites you to step into a world of bold flavors and rich traditions as we embark on a culinary journey through India, a land where spices dance and aromas tell stories of centuries past. At the heart of this adventure lies a dish so exquisite, it graced the dining table during the coronation dinner of Queen Elizabeth II: the legendary Butter Chicken.
This velvety, indulgent dish, known as "Murgh Makhani" in Hindi, was first crafted in the kitchens of Moti Mahal, a celebrated restaurant in Delhi, during the 1950s. Its creators sought to transform tandoori chicken into something extraordinary. By simmering tender, char-grilled chicken in a luscious tomato-based sauce enriched with butter and cream, they gave birth to a recipe that captured the world's palate. The dish soon gained international fame, and its appearance at the Queen's coronation marked a defining moment in its culinary journey.

Chef Janine crafts her ketogenic Indian Butter Chicken with a tangy and creamy tomato-cream sauce, carefully balanced to be rich and flavorful without being too heavy or overly sweet.
The magic lies in her custom blend of exotic spices, featuring cardamom, cumin, cinnamon, coriander, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and fenugreek, all harmonized with Himalayan salt, lemon juice, and garlic paste. The velvety cream sauce, enriched with coconut cream, complements the marinated tandoori chicken—infused with yogurt and spices—enhancing its moisture and tenderness while subtly softening the bold, spicy flavors.
This succulent tandoori chicken is served in its luxurious cream sauce alongside coarsely chopped, al dente cauliflower rice, offering a hearty yet low-carb alternative to traditional accompaniments. To complete the experience, crisp, golden low-carb tortilla chips are included, fried to perfection in lard, ideal for dipping into the indulgent sauce.
Prepare to awaken your gourmet taste buds and savor the Flavors of India! This dish, rich in exotic flavors yet surprisingly light on carbs, is a treat for the senses. We guarantee you'll love every bite!
