Elisabeth’s “Easy” Butter Chicken
(With abject apologies to Sam the Foodie, who will have a conniption as he reads this. Fair warning.)
Thrilled I found an easy crock pot recipe for butter chicken. Remembered to pull out chicken breasts to thaw the night before! Excellent. Good start. This should be simple. Place child with cup of goldfish crackers in front of Return of the Jedi. Cut up chicken into bite-size pieces. Wash hands thoroughly. Bring laptop into kitchen and find recipe file. “Cook chicken in 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons oil.” Not gonna do that. We try to eat healthy. Spray pan with cooking spray. Transfer chicken to pan on stove at medium heat. Cover chicken so it will cook faster.
“3 cloves garlic and 1 onion.” Peel five garlic cloves because that’s how we roll. Check fridge for onion. No onion. Crap. Perhaps there are some onions left in the garden. The garden that has been neglected for the past two years and the onions allowed to run wild. Get shoes and go outside to check. Excited to see green shoots. Dig around them. Pull out rotting onions. Dig in another place. Pull out very small, round, white things that might pass for onions after the brown stuff is cut off. Try again. Well, maybe these are what green onions are. The beginning of onions with the old brown stuff cut off. It could work. Pull up five of these almost-onions. Get distracted by tulips peeking out of the ground. There are quite a few. Oh look, Irises, too! And the oregano went crazy last year and is coming back. Maybe I should neglect the garden more often. Head back inside.
Cut off brown stuff and chop “onions” with garlic. Go to put them in the pan with chicken. Chicken is burned. Dump in the onions and garlic and grab olive oil. Olive oil is good for you. Pour in some olive oil and use plastic fork utensil to scrape chicken off the pan. Ok, not too bad, just a little brown. Turn down heat. Gather “curry powder, curry paste, garam masala, tandoori masala, tomato paste.” Don’t have tandoori masala. Oh well, it’s only one ingredient. Add extra garam masala to make up for it. Add spices and curry paste. Looks rather dry.
Realize that perhaps Butter Chicken requires butter. Add one tablespoon butter. Stir. Still looking awfully dry. Add tomato paste. “Stir until no lumps of tomato paste remain.” Stir. Lumps remain. Wonder what kind of weird tomato paste this person uses. Stir. Lumps remain. Screw it. We’ll exercise later. Add another generous tablespoon of butter. Stir. Still looking quite pasty. Oh well. Transfer to crock pot. Turn on low.
Add to crock pot one cup locally made, organic, Mountain High plain yogurt. Feel proud. Look for coconut milk in cupboard. Seriously move every can out of the way and remember distinctly telling husband to get coconut milk. Call husband. Top shelf. Small wooden stool that causes tripping every other day is mysteriously missing. Search children’s room. Kick Bionicles and cars aside. Find stool in a corner under a rabbit and a spotted gecko. Return to kitchen. Find coconut milk on the top shelf behind a locked door labeled “beware of the leopard”. Open can. Wonder why something called milk is solid. Pour into pot and am assaulted by liquid behind the solid. Wonder if coconut milk is supposed to be separated like that. Check can. “Shake well before using.” Ah.
Stir all ingredients together. Notice that it doesn’t look quite like the delicious stuff we eat at Taste of India. Sigh.
Looking forward to sitting down and stringing cardamom pods on a thread to add to crock pot for the final spice. Nice, calm activity, and so authentic. Glad to have found a use for cardamom pods that were once bought by mistake. Look on spice rack for cardamom pods. Nope. Check spice cupboard. Huh. Remove all spice boxes and bottles from cabinet and check all labels twice. Wish I’d never heard of Butter Chicken. Check backup spice cupboard of extras and those rarely used. Find various common spices, two bottles of saffron, and two rolls of Smarties. Find container of small green pods! ...labeled “coriander seeds.” Curse India, the British Empire, their flags, and their colonial conquering of other nations. Add about a teaspoon of ground cardamom to pot. Stir. Slam down lid. Take great pleasure in watching the Emperor torture Luke Skywalker.

Thank you. That was truly entertaining, especially as a person who often cooks (unhealthy food) for himself and others.
Nice Star Wars references, Moff. :D

Waiting for dinner. We're having hot dogs and brats cooked on the grill. So hungry. Went for a walk and then went to the store hungry and now impatient for the food to be cooked. And trying very hard not to fill up on chips first. :)
