Whole Food Plant Based Indian Butter Chicken

Mmmmmmmm. Who doesn’t love a rich creamy Indian sauce. I know our family does but most Indian sauces that are creamy use heavy cream or yogurt. Not this one. I have adapted the classic Butter Chicken recipe into a delicious Nutritarian Salt, Oil, Sugar Free Whole Food Plant Based version (wow that is a mouthful). Mushrooms replace the chicken and as Dr. Fuhrman has pointed out; cooked mushrooms can greatly reduce the chances of breast cancer! Eat up ladies and savor the comforting creamy Mushroom Butter Sauce.
