Submitted by Harriet Katz My husband and I like to sample foods from various cultures. He likes Indian food, but I find it too spicy. This is my rendition of Butter Chicken. It is kosher because it does not contain any dairy and it is not too spicy – my grandchildren have been eating it since they were very young.
2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced in 1-inch cubes
1/2 cup flour seasoned with
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 small onion, diced
1 can (284 ml) tomato soup
1/2 can (400ml) unsweetened coconut milk
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 and 1/2 tablespoons curry powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Place just enough oil on the bottom of a 4-quart pot or Dutch oven.
Heat oil on high.
Season flour with paprika, garlic powder, and salt.
Dredge chicken in seasoned flour. Sear chicken in hot oil until browned on all sides, then remove from pot with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl.
Reduce heat to medium and fry onion until translucent.
Add tomato soup, coconut milk, curry powder, salt, sugar and cayenne pepper.
Blend well, bring to a boil, and adjust seasoning to taste.
Add chicken, stir well and reduce heat to simmer.
Cover pot, cook for 1 to 1 and 1/4 hours stirring occasionally.
After one hour, taste chicken for doneness (should be soft). Drizzle lime juice over the chicken and serve over basmati or jasmine rice.

clarifications in ingredients – lime juice is listed as ingredient. But it’s not in the instructions.
– Ingredients list: 1/2 can (400ml) unsweetened coconut milk . Note that cans of cocunut milk I see are 400ml. So does this mean 1/2 of a 400 ml can (i.e. 200 ml) or are there larger cans and the recipe asks for 400 ml.
Hi Michael! This recipe is actually part of our MyKosher Recipe’s that came in through a contest, and this is our guess as to what the contributor means. I think she is referring to 1/2 of a 400 ml can. And I would add the lime juice at the end after step 10. Thanks!
Delicious when I made it – a unique and bold flavor and the chicken is so tender. Freezes well too, so I tend to double up.
Some of the instructions unclear though. Posting in questions and answers
