INGREDIENTS:

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 8 chicken thigh cutlets, with skin on
• 1 brown onion, thinly sliced
• ½ (500g) cauliflower, cut into florets
• 375g Passage to India Butter Chicken Simmer Sauce
• Steamed basmati rice, to serve
• Roasted salted cashews, roughly chopped, to serve
• Coriander sprigs, to serve

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Begin your culinary adventure by heating the vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Introduce the chicken thigh cutlets to the pan, ensuring the skin side is down. Allow the chicken pieces to cook for approximately 10 minutes, or until they are beautifully browned on all sides. Once they have achieved that coveted golden hue, transfer the chicken to a plate and discard any excess fat that has accumulated in the pan.
2. Add the thinly sliced brown onion and cauliflower florets to the pan. Let them sauté for about 5 minutes, until the onion softens and the cauliflower begins to develop a tender texture. It’s at this point that the star of the show, Passage to India’s Butter Chicken Simmer Sauce, makes its entrance. Pour the luscious sauce over the vegetables and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to meld and the aromas to fill the air.
3. Return the chicken thigh cutlets to the pan, nestling them amidst the cauliflower and luxuriating in the creamy butter chicken sauce. Make sure each piece is coated well with the delectable sauce. To seal in the flavors, cover the pan and reduce the heat, allowing the dish to simmer gently for 20 minutes, ensuring the chicken is cooked through and each bite is infused with indulgent tastes.
4. As your culinary masterpiece comes together, prepare the stage for its grand presentation. Spoon the steamed basmati rice onto a platter, creating a welcoming bed for the butter chicken and cauliflower. Arrange the tender chicken thigh cutlets and the flavorful cauliflower florets over the rice, making sure each portion is adorned with the luscious sauce.
5. Elevate the dish’s visual and textural appeal by generously sprinkling roasted salted cashews over the top, adding a delightful crunch and nutty flavor that complements the creamy richness of the sauce. Complete the presentation with a scattering of fresh coriander sprigs, infusing the dish with an aromatic touch that tantalizes the senses.
6. With your One-Pan Butter Chicken with Cauliflower ready to be savored, invite your loved ones to the table and indulge in a symphony of flavors. Each bite promises a harmonious blend of tastes, textures, and aromas, celebrating the art of culinary craftsmanship.
