The DELICIOUS, HEALTHIER version of the classic butter chicken curry misses one main ingredient — can you guess what it is?
- Replies 5
Let's be honest, most of the delicious recipes that we find online require a lot of unhealthy ingredients. It's a sad fact we face every day.
One dish that it seems everyone loves despite it being high in fat and oil is Butter Chicken!
While not all fat sources should be considered bad — as a good amount of healthy fats completes a well-balanced meal — fat from dairy products should be taken in limited amounts.
So, if you are on the hunt for a healthier recipe for this mouth-watering dish, we've got some good news for you!

For those who are looking to cut some fat out of their diet, this recipe is perfect as it skips two of the cholesterol-inducing ingredients in the dish — butter and cream.
No need to take a double look, folks! The recipe has indeed skipped butter even though this dish is traditionally prepared with butter (it's called butter chicken curry for a reason).
So, how does Jessica do it?

"This is my take on a traditional butter chicken but with a clever twist – Greek yoghurt instead of butter and cream," she wrote on Instagram.
The health guru places some chopped brown onions, garlic, spices, tinned tomatoes, tomato paste, and chicken thighs into a slow cooker.
She then turns the cooker on high for two and a half hours.
Jessica said that you can alternatively turn it on low for six and a half hours.
Another substitute would be placing the ingredients in a casserole dish and cooking it inside an oven at 150C for two and a half hours.
To prepare the "butter", Jessica pours 1 cup of Greek yoghurt into a bowl along with a small spoonful of curry sauce before stirring the mixture.
For those who find this dairy product inaccessible, the nutritionist-turned-entrepreneur suggested using 1400 g tin of coconut milk instead.
She also advises repeating the stirring before adding the mixture into the slow cooker or oven dish.
Finally, the nutritionist serves the dish with brown rice and some steamed broccoli florets and snowpeas.
'Any leftovers can be stored in the fridge for three days or kept in the freezer for up to one month,' she recommended.
