Raquel Bosustow
Using the superfood ingredients to create a traditional dish offering a gluten and dairy free version of Butter Chicken
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Serves 6

Ingredients
 

  • 2 kg CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS: , I love drumsticks as they offer maximum flavour
  • 3 cloves GARLIC : , Diced
  • 1 ONIONS: , Diced
  • 750 ml COCONUT CREAM: , A delicious texture
  • 500 ml PASSATA: J, ust a dash
  • 3 tbsp CURRY POWDER: , Mild or Hot totally up to you
  • 3 tbsp SMOKED PAPRIKA: , I LOVE this spice
  • TO SERVE: Basmati Rice - lemon wedges - fried shallots - greek yoghurt, optional or coconut yoghurt for dairy free option

Instructions
 

  • Place a large frypan on your stove top. I love to use my Paella Pan. Drizzle olive oil and panfry the garlic and onion for 1 minute. Add your spices and combine for 1 min
  • Add the drumsticks to brown the skin. Add a dash of olive oil to loosen the spice mix. Once both sides are brown, reduce the heat and add coconut cream along with the passata. Stir to combine.
  • Cover with a lid and allow to simmer gently, season with salt and pepper
  • After 20 minutes, the drumsticks will be cooked beautifully. Just piece the meat closest to the bone to ensure the chicken is completely cooked through
  • Serve with basmati rice and condimetnts.
