Ingredients:
For the Butter Chicken:
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon garam masala
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
For the Poutine:
- 4 large potatoes, cut into fries
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 2 cups cheese curds
- Salt to taste
Instructions:
1- In a bowl, combine yogurt, minced garlic, minced ginger, garam masala, ground coriander, ground cumin, turmeric, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
2- Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.
3- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the potato fries on a baking sheet, drizzle with vegetable oil, and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
4- In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
5- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
6- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir in the heavy cream and butter, allowing the sauce to simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, until thickened.
7- To assemble the poutine, place a generous portion of fries on a serving plate. Top with cheese curds, then ladle the butter chicken gravy over the fries and cheese curds.
8- Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
