Kid-Friendly Version

Serve a small pile of plain cauliflower rice and a few pieces of plain chicken on the child's plate, with the butter chicken sauce in a separate small bowl for dipping if they like.

Recipe

1

Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice grains. Set aside.

2

Season the chicken thighs with salt, 1 tsp garam masala, turmeric, cumin, and paprika.

child_care Set aside one unseasoned chicken thigh for the child.
3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

child_care Cook the child's plain chicken thigh separately in a small pan with a little oil, then cut into small pieces.
4

Reduce heat to medium. Add butter, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

5

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, remaining 1 tsp garam masala, and heavy cream. Simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

child_care Before adding cream and spices, set aside 2 tablespoons of the tomato mixture for the child's plain cauliflower rice.
6

Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over it, and simmer for 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is thick and creamy.

child_care Remove the child's chicken from the pan before adding to the sauce; serve plain chicken with a tiny bit of sauce on the side.
