What to do
-
-
Place a large heavy-based saucepan over high heat and add the sesame oil. Cook the chicken in two batches, turning regularly for about 5 minutes or until browned. Remove from the pan and set aside while you cook the remaining chicken. Remove it from the pan.
-
Reduce the heat a little and add the butter. When the butter has melted add the spices and cook, stirring, for 4–5 minutes until fragrant.
-
Return the chicken to the pan, along with the tomatoes and tomato paste. Stir and simmer for about 20 minutes.
-
Turn down the heat to low and stir in the coconut milk. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
-
Mix the banana and coconut together in a small bowl.
-
Serve the butter chicken with the brown rice, chilled cucumber, banana with coconut and some mango chutney, if desired.
