This keto butter chicken relies on almond cream instead of cashews or dairy cream to achieve depth without spiking carbs. The method focuses on fat-first cooking, restrained onion use, and staged spice addition so the gravy thickens naturally. Chicken thighs are lightly seared, then simmered gently to absorb flavour while staying tender and juicy.
