I took Aida Mollenkamp’s recipe for Garam Masala Chicken with Roasted Vegetables and changed it to suit my purposes (using cornish hens, etc). I also reduced the oil simply because I didn’t think that amount was necessary. For this recipe it’s really important to have a probe thermometer that can stay in the hens while they’re in the oven. After a few changes, this ended up delicious! Hope you like it too.
The Australian Women’s Weekly version of this classic curry. Can easily be halved. Make this a day ahead to let the curry flavours develop, serve with saffron rice and chapatis. I’m not a fan of dark meat so I normally make my butter chicken with breast meat, diced.
