Chicken Makhani Penne Pasta Recipe (Butter Chicken Penne Pasta)

I enjoy butter chicken or makhani murgh with buttery naans or pulao, sometimes with cheese stuffed paratha but butter chicken with pasta was new to me, after a client visit at a business class type restaurant we ordered this dish, I was instantly in love with the creamy sauce combined with penne pasta, very quirky yet delicious a must try combination if you enjoy butter chicken.

Method:
Makhani or butter sauce: Heat a heavy bottom wok on medium flame, add the roughly chopped onions, tomato, ginger, garlic, chillies, 1/2 the amount chopped bell pepper, cashews and water boil and reduce all the ingredients.

Once the tomato and onion has cooked and softened remove from flame allow to reach room temperature. Add all the boiled ingredients to the juicer jar and grind to form a smooth paste. We can strain the sauce using a sieve for silky smooth consistency  and reserve.

Cook the pasta: Heat a heavy bottom pot with enough water to boil the penne pasta. Add generous amount of salt and bring to rapid boil. 

Add the pasta and boil until the pasta is al dente (not cooked all the way through)  remove from flame, drain the excess water and reserve.

Cook the chicken: Heat a heavy bottom wok on medium flame with two tbsp butter. Add the crushed ginger and garlic fry in butter for few minutes until raw flavor reduces.

Add the chicken along with half the amount of spice powders (chilly powder, garam masala, cumin powder, turmeric powder, kasuri methi, pepper powder) and salt. Fry the chicken for a minute on medium flame add 2 cups hot water stir well and cover.

In two minute intervals keep stirring the chicken making sure the masala do not burn the chicken. Once the chicken has cooked place on high flame and allow the excess moisture to evaporate. Remove from flame and reserve.

If the chicken pieces are large chop it or shredded into bite size pieces and reserve.

Assemble the Makhani Pasta: Heat a heavy bottom wok / Pan or Pressure cooker on medium flame with 2 to 3 tbsp butter. 

Add the ground tomato sauce along with the ketchup and spice powders (chilly powder, garam masala, cumin powder, turmeric powder, kasuri methi, pepper powder) and salt and 1/2 cup water stir and boil.

Add the chopped veggies peppers, carrots and peas stir well cover and cook until veggies have cooked. Make sure to constantly stir the sauce and cook, since the sauce contains cashews it might tend to burn.

Once the veggies have softened, add the chicken, 1 tbsp oregano, 1 tbsp parsley and salt, stir bring to rapid boil. Just before serving add the fresh cream and pasta stir well and serve.

Plate the pasta as hot as possible top with cheese, sprinkle oregano and parsley and serve with butter toasted garlic bread slices and enjoy😉

Preplan and prepare the sauce, chicken and pasta ahead of time and reserve, just before serving we can combine all the ingredients and serve it hot for extra creamy taste.
