Butter Chicken with Homemade Garlic Naan

To make butter chicken with homemade garlic naan gluten-free, substitute regular all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend for the naan. Ensure that all other ingredients, especially the spices and yogurt, are gluten-free. This way, you can enjoy this delicious dish without compromising your dietary needs.

If you don't have boneless chicken, you can use chicken thighs or even paneer for a vegetarian option. For Greek yogurt, regular plain yogurt works well. If you don't have heavy cream, you can substitute it with coconut milk for a dairy-free version. Adjust the spices according to your taste preferences!

Store leftover butter chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For the garlic naan, wrap it in foil or place it in a zip-top bag to keep it fresh. You can reheat both in the microwave or on a stovetop for the naan to maintain its texture.

Butter chicken pairs wonderfully with basmati rice, a fresh cucumber salad, or a side of roasted vegetables. You can also serve it with a tangy raita to balance the flavors. These sides complement the rich and creamy butter chicken beautifully.

To make butter chicken from scratch, start by marinating boneless chicken in a mixture of spices, yogurt, and lemon juice. Sauté onions in butter until golden, then add fresh tomato puree and cook. Blend this mixture with cashews and water, return it to the pan, add the marinated chicken, and cook until done. Finally, stir in heavy cream for a rich finish. Serve with homemade garlic naan for a complete meal!
