Indian Butter Chicken Variation For Weight Watchers

Indian butter chicken recipes are usually high in saturated fats, with fresh cream and butter being key ingredients. In this healthy variation, olive oil has been substituted for the butter, and low fat yoghurt thickened with cornflour replaces the cream. The result is a tangier version of the traditional recipe, but as tasty. Indian butter chicken is usually served with rice or naan bread.
