Butter Chicken Risotto: A Fusion Feast
This recipe combines the creamy comfort of risotto with the rich, flavorful goodness of butter chicken, creating a unique and delicious Indo-Italian fusion dish.
1. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, and chili powder (if using), and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
2. Add the Arborio rice and stir to coat with the spices. Cook for 1 minute, then pour in the white wine and let it simmer until absorbed.
3. Gradually add the warmed chicken broth, one ladleful at a time, stirring constantly and allowing the rice to absorb each ladleful before adding the next. Continue this process for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is al dente and creamy.
4. Stir in the butter chicken sauce, cooked chicken, and half of the cilantro and mint. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through and flavors meld.
6. Garnish with the remaining cilantro, mint, toasted cashews, and Parmesan cheese (if using). Enjoy your Butter Chicken Risotto!
This hearty and flavourful Indo-Italian fusion risotto is sure to bring a satisfied smile and a big thumbs up from all your family members and guests.
