Easy Butter Garlic Chicken Banglar Rannaghor

Ingredients:

• Chicken breast, 350 g, thinly sliced

• Salt, ½ tsp

• Pepper, ¼ tsp

• Garlic paste, ½ tsp

• 1 egg white

• Cornflour or cornstarch, 2 tbsp

• Oil for shallow frying

• Unsalted butter, 2 tbsp

• Chopped garlic, 1½ tbsp

• 1 green chili, finely chopped

• Water, 1 cup

• Optional: chicken powder (chicken stock or bouillon), 1 tsp

• Coriander, 3-4 tbsp, finely chopped

• Sugar, ¼ tsp, to taste

• Cornstarch slurry: 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tsp water

• Juice of 1 whole lime

• Green onions, thinly sliced, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare Chicken:

• In a bowl, combine the chicken slices with salt, pepper, garlic paste, and egg white. Mix well.

• Add cornflour or cornstarch, ensuring there are no lumps. Set aside.

1. Frying Chicken:

• Heat enough oil in a pan to shallow fry the chicken pieces in batches.

• Fry each side for 3 minutes or until golden. Use a lid to cover if the oil splatters.

• Transfer fried chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.

1. Making the Sauce:

• Discard all but 1 tsp of the frying oil from the pan.

• Add butter and let it melt. Then, add chopped garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, ensuring it doesn't brown—just until it's soft.

• Add the chopped green chili and stir.

• Pour in 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Add chicken powder if using, salt, pepper, and sugar to taste.

1. Thicken the Sauce:

• Add the cornstarch slurry to the boiling sauce, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens.

1. Combine and Garnish:

• Add the fried chicken back into the pan, mixing well to coat with the gravy.

• Turn off the heat.

• Garnish with freshly squeezed lime juice and sliced green onions.
