  • Total Time: 60 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound frozen French fries
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cubed
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 2 teaspoons garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 cup tomato puree
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 cup cheese curds
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven or air fryer to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine yogurt, garlic, ginger, garam masala, turmeric, and chili powder. Add chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add marinated chicken and cook until browned. Stir in tomato puree and simmer for 10 minutes. Add heavy cream and salt, simmer for 5 more minutes.
  4. While the sauce simmers, cook the fries until golden and crispy.
  5. Layer hot fries on a plate, scatter cheese curds over the top, and pour hot butter chicken over everything.
  6. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use thick-cut fries or waffle fries for best texture.
  • Let the butter chicken rest slightly to thicken the sauce before pouring.
  • Add a splash of lemon juice or chopped green chilies for a fresh kick.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with paneer.
