This recipe is made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand. Perfect for any occasion, this recipe elevates the humble sandwich to gourmet heights.

Ingredients

For the marinade

button mushrooms, thinly sliced 10

onion, thinly sliced 1/2

olive oil 1 tbsp

For the Crostini:

chopped fresh (coriander) cilantro 1/4 cup

slices of bread, crusts removed 4

tomato, thinly sliced 1

Step 1: Marinating the Chicken

In a bowl, mix together red chilli powder, ginger-garlic paste, salt, and curd. Add the chicken pieces and coat them evenly with the marinade. Pop it in the refrigerator for at least 7 hours to let those flavours mingle and develop.

Step 2: Roasting the Chicken

After marinating, place the chicken in an oven and roast it for about 15 minutes. This will add a lovely depth of flavour to your butter chicken.

Step 3: Creating the Gravy

Heat two generous chunks of Nutralite table spread in a pan. Add the tomato puree and sauté it for 2 to 3 minutes until it releases its beautiful aroma. Now, sprinkle in some cumin seeds, green chillies, and a pinch of salt to enhance the taste.

Step 4: Bringing It All Together

Add the marinated chicken to the pan along with more Nutralite table spread, fresh cream, green chillies (if you like it spicy), and a touch of sugar to balance the flavours according to your preference. Let these ingredients simmer and meld together for 5 to 8 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Step 5: The Finishing Touch

Just before serving, add a spoonful of Nutralite table spread on top of your butter chicken curry. This will give it that final touch of richness and flavour.

Ingredients

For the Tandoori Mushroom:

button mushrooms, thinly sliced 10

onion, thinly sliced 1/2

olive oil 1 tbsp

For the Crostini:

chopped fresh (coriander) cilantro 1/4 cup

slices of bread, crusts removed 4

tomato, thinly sliced 1

Step 1: Prep Tandoori Mushroom Mixture

Start by finely chopping button mushrooms and onions. Sauté them until lightly browned. Nutralite Mayo Tandoori is enriched with Vitamins A, D2, E, and its intake of 15 grams in any format, gives 15% RDA of these vitamins. Add a generous dollop of Nutralite Mayo Tandoori and a blend of tandoori spice mix for that authentic tandoori flavor.

Step 2: Toast Crostini

Cut bread slices into bite-sized pieces and toast them until golden brown, achieving a crispy texture.

Step 3: Assemble Tandoori Mushroom Crostini

Spread the prepared tandoori mushroom mixture on the toasted crostini. Top it off with cherry tomatoes and fresh coriander for a delicious finish. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and onions, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in Nutralite Tandoori Mayo and cilantro. Finally, top each slice of toast with the tandoori mushroom mixture and a slice of tomato.
