Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Indian butter chicken

Actually, this one looks fairly simple to adapt!

1. Instead of oil, saute in Pam-sprayed pan. Use broth, if necessary as well.

2. Eliminate butter. Use IBS-safe margarine. I would reduce the quantity by substituting broth as well (i.e. saute chicken in broth & maybe just use 1-2 tbsp. of safe margarine for flavour. Butter flavoured "Pam" type sprays are available as well. (Actually, if I want a buttery flavour this is what I use as I'm very fat-triggered!)

3. Obviously the half & half needs elimination. SILK creamer is available. Also, using plain soy milk will do the trick as well. Truly, this is unnecessary. Soy milk, generally is thick & rich & creamy enough to do the trick. Unsweetened brands are available.

I hope this is helpful.

(This is kind of ironic, actually--my body building brother needs to lose 50lbs. He's total muscle but due to back problems & age he needs to drop weight. HE LOVES TO EAT & COOK & I'm helping him tone down his recipes--one of which is "Butter Chicken.")
