Diet Butter Chicken Recipe For Health Freak Foodies
Disclaimer: No Butter was used in making of this recipe of Butter Chicken.
The first thing that pops in my mind is that the heading I have chosen has too many ironies in it. First of all a diet version of Butter Chicken. I mean I have already purged the sacrosanctity of one chicken recipe that sits at the helm of Punjabi cuisine.
As if that wasn’t enough! I am offering this to the health freaks. Those who are trying to stay away from fat, are being offered something that is known to be rich and absolutely delicious.
In my defense, I would like to say that this Butter Chicken recipe (pardon the misnomer!) is the one recipe that you need if you want to enjoy something delicious without feeling the guilt about the calories.
