I hope you all have some fun with this one, I've seen a ton of great lower cal suggestions/suggestions outside of just what I did! ► Recipe for both (with nutrition tables): www.ethanchlebowski.com/cooking-techniques-recipes/lower-calorie-butter-chicken Also a couple more notes after we finished the leftovers: - The lower cal version with the peanut butter had a more pronounced nutty flavor that my roommate and I enjoyed a little more than the cashew which has a milder flavor. - The thinness of the sauce wasn't as noticeable after it cooled down and was reheated, but if you do want it a little thicker you could try adding less water, or as suggested with a thickener like cornstarch / xanthan gum

@ethan chlebowski do you think you would get the same flavor and consistency with PB2 powdered peanut butter instead of the JIF? It would make it more anabolic but I still want the taste.
@zebenkopchak1118

Taylor Tait My 2 cents: PB2 powder has lower calories than regular peanut butter because most of the fats have been removed from it, so I think you would get the peanut flavor, but it might impact how smooth the final consistency is.

I would have kept the cashews instead of the peanut butter. The reason being the peanut butter has trans fat in it, which is a lot worse for you then saturated fats are. Unless you have natural peanut butter that is, which separates naturally because it has no trans fat in it.

Indian and chef here. A key component of the butter chicken is that the chicken is cooked in the tandoor to give it that signature smoky flavour. The dish is said to have been invented as a way of using up leftover tandoori chicken from the previous day. Most Indians don't have tandoors at home, and butter chicken is usually a "restaurant" dish. If you want to get smoky flavour in your sauce, look up "dhungar" on Google. As for your substitutions, most are OK, but dude, peanut butter has a noticeable flavour. Cashews have a more neutral flavour that gives it body without affecting the other flavours. As for chicken breast, what is it with you Americans and your fondness for flavourless chicken breasts? Thighs have way more flavour. *shudder* Lastly, you're missing some Kashmiri red chillies that give it a signature red colour. And I would double the ginger and garlic in the sauce too. :)

Good discussion at the end, Ethan. Here is one consideration on the lower calorie series that I don't think you have addressed (if you find it interesting): How satisfied are you after finishing both dishes and for how long can you go without feeling hungry again? Fats and fiber both contribute a great deal to the feeling of satiety, so I am curious about that factor.
@hywodena
7 ай бұрын
It still has a pretty good amount of fat. Maybe not so much fiber because you're literally staining out the fibers, idk. And chicken breasts are higher in protein which helps a lot with satisfaction. What I like about his series is that he focuses a lot on protein, which helps with feeling full and satisfied. And it's not like it's super low cal and would leave you lacking in energy, with the rice there's plenty of calories there for dinner.

But peanut butter will definitely add a distinctive flavor. Great recipe tho!!!!❤️

A few suggestions, i would sue butter at teh start and caramelise the onions, the taste difference with caramelised onions is way better. My next tip is use less evaporated milk and add a bit of ricotta which has 7g fat/100g and gives a much creamier sauce. Next, i would add saffron to the evaporated milk, and add xantham gum to thicken the sauce at end. Finally i would use P&B powder and with the fat saved compared to using PB id stick with the chicken thighs

Thankyou for trying to make it. A few things maybe you could try instead. The marinating time, at least try to do a minimum of 1 hour - this will make it more tender and don't use boneless chicken, you're losing all the flavour. Boneless chicken is easier to eat but you loose the flavour. If you have an oven please cook the chicken in there. Just put your marinated chicken on a baking sheet in a 450 'F oven. The base for the marinade is spot on. For the gravy - almonds might be a better substitute since Peanut butter has a stronger flavour, this might fight with the other flavour of the gravy. Also maybe substitute Greek yogurt instead of evaporated milk - can help with the creamy consistency that you are missing from the low fat version. Please don't had curry powder at the end since it can bring an uncooked curry flavour to the base. For people who don't want to go through the extra step of using the food processor, just finely chop everything, nobody will notice. Overall I think it's a good recipe 👍.

It was great. I had to play a bit due to missing ingredients but I used fenugreek powder, powdered peanut butter, and powdered ginger. I also had to use Madras Curry powder. I used no frying oil and got away with one tablespoon butter. I also used light sour cream both in the marinade and in the sauce. I used a bit more curry and added a serrano. I also had a bit more tomato and onion and used a Blendtec and didn't have anything to strain. The tomato had so much juice that I skipped the water. It was definitely an approximation but it honestly turned out well. Thank you for the great template! 😅 I will definitely do it again.

Great job! I think I would have used almond butter though, or almonds in your mix. Peanut butter has a very strong taste. Another tip - don't use a food processor to blend the ingredients - use a blender and run it long enough that the sauce is so smooth that almost nothing will get strained when you pass it through your sieve later. That will give you a thicker, more velvety sauce. For your low calorie version, I would add the butter at the very end, just before serving, and stir the cold butter into the sauce.

You can use single cream in place of heavy cream, sure it will have a little more calories than evaporated milk, but fewer cal. In comparison to heavy cream. Keep the cashew, but reduce the quantity, cashew helps with colour n thickness, peanut butter have stronger flavour. For the sauce, you can put all ingredients for sauce in a pan cover with water and let it cook for 20 mins, it will break down veges and cashews much better and will result a more creamy, better bodied sauce Fry your chicken in a pan(instead of grill) remove the chicken, n then add sauce, it will deglaze the pan and all the flavour left behind, will be incorporated in the sauce. I hope some of these points help

Maybe you could add a little bit of Xanthan gum or even cornstarch to the low calorie sauce after blending it., in order to make it a bit more thicker like the high calorie sauce.

Not sure if Indian take-away is different in Australia, but there's certainly a lot of sugar added to the restaurant style butter chicken, which increases the caloric intake, and often black cardamom is used in the spice blend. I was about to mention fenugreek leaf, but I noticed you added that - such an important ingredient. I often add a pinch of smoked paprika to mimic the tandoor cooking.

i have substituted garbanzo for the cashew in a pinch. it could reduce calories, even over peanut butter.

Typical lower cal sub for this is coconut milk which apparently retains the creaminess but may impart a new flavor.

@@SimonWoodburyForget I'll address only the relevant part of your answer: while this varies a bit, roughly speaking the same volume of coconut milk is 3/5th the calories of cream, which is what the original comparison is to and as far as I know it retains the same texture you get from using cream.

Less buttah mo chicken? Seriously love this series, though. This sort of thing has always been my philosophy behind cooking. Thanks for all of the insight as always!

I make Indian food at least twice a week and some of these edits are staples while others I will definitely try going forward! Really awesome work as always. I’ve also used arrowroot powder to help thicken more watery sauces as it’s pretty low calorie at about 110 kcal/quarter cup. It also helps it turn silkier/glossier than a corn starch for example. A teaspoon or two goes a long way and hardly adds any cost per serving.

Ethan, I bet if you kept some of those solids (and blended them up a bit more) it would add a good deal of body and texture that you were commenting was a bit more lacking in the lower calorie version. That's how I've always made this dish (I use lite coconut milk instead though) One tip is to make a ton of the tomato base and then freeze it. You can keep cans of the cream/milk/coconut milk and frozen bases and throw together dinner in 10 minutes while the rice cooks

I have found you can get away with quite a bit with buying a store bought Butter chicken sauce, add 1tbsp butter and 1-2 tablespoons of cream cheese. (And toasting cardamom, a bay leaf, maybe ginger, fenugreek etc. whatever helps amp up the store sauce ) I think that might save you even more calories. It won’t taste authentic per se but it’s close enough for me

Hi Ethan great video butter chicken was actually invented by accident. A restaurant had found a way how not to waste their leftover Grilled BBQ chicken a simple way to rehydrate dry leftover chicken. Which is why its important to either smoke your chicken or use grilled chicken for this particular dish.

Made this last night and wow is it delicious. Will be making it again tonight To thicken, I just used a corn starch rue (spelling?) Like youd use in a stir fry, worked perfectly

For Indian food, you might be better off using a liquidy besan paste (chickpea / garbanzo bean flour) for your roux. you make it liquidy, but not too much - the besan must dissovle properly and be lump free, then add to the curry and let it boil, stirring so the besan cooks properly. one tbsp should do it for the quantity he was making.

I mean the channel is centered largely around more efficient methods to cook which includes building upon other recipes. Building on a recipe by changing ingredients to create a lower calorie version is in the spirit of the channel so I think most viewers will be fine.
