Step-by-Step Instructions for Butter Chicken Meatballs
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, and breadcrumbs along with garam masala, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a spatula until everything is well incorporated. Shape the mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs.
- Heat a large pot or skillet over medium heat and add a splash of oil. Once hot, carefully place the meatballs in the pot, cooking for about 5–7 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, pour in the plain tomato sauce, scraping up any browned bits. Add the remaining spices and stir well. Bring to a gentle simmer over low-medium heat for about 2–3 minutes.
- Use an immersion blender to blend the sauce until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the sauce to a standard blender, blend until creamy, and return to the pot.
- Return the browned meatballs to the pot, gently coating them in the tomato gravy. Allow to simmer for about 5 minutes on low heat.
- Stir in the cream and butter, cooking on low heat for another 2-3 minutes until heated thoroughly.
