- 2.54 cm Ginger
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- 1 14-oz can Crushed tomatoes
- 1/2 cup Almond milk

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Cut the about 680 g of chicken thighs into 2.54 cm (2.5 cm) bite-sized pieces.
- 2Heat the 2 tbsp of Ghee (Dairy-Free) in a large 30.48 cm (30 cm) skillet over medium heat (approximately 162.8-176.7°C / 160-175°C). Add the 1 medium onion, diced into 1.27 cm (1.25 cm) pieces, to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
- 3Add the 4 cloves of minced garlic and the 2.54 cm of grated ginger to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- 4Stir in the 2 tbsp of tomato paste, the 1 14-oz can of crushed tomatoes, the 1/2 cup of almond milk, the 1/4 cup of coconut cream, the 2 tsp of garam masala, the 1 tsp of turmeric powder, the 1/2 tsp of chili powder, and the 1 tsp of salt into the skillet.
- 5Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer over medium heat (approximately 93.33-98.89°C / 93-99°C). Add the about 680 g of chicken thighs to the simmering sauce and cook for 18-22 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 74°C.
- 6While the chicken is cooking, prepare the 1 large head of cauliflower by cutting it into florets and pulsing in a food processor, or grating it using a box grater, until it resembles rice.
- 7In a separate large 25.4 cm (25 cm) skillet, heat the 1 tbsp of coconut oil over medium-high heat (approximately 176.7-190.6°C / 175-190°C). Add the prepared cauliflower rice and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender-crisp.
- 8Serve the butter chicken immediately over the cauliflower rice.
