This curry, inspired by Indian butter chicken, is quick and easy to put together. Feel free to omit the spices and butter to prepare plain basmati rice or sub your favorite brown rice for the white basmati for some extra fiber and nutrients, just remember to start it early since it will take longer to cook.
