Butter Chicken

A quick home version of murgh makhani: chicken marinated in yogurt and tandoori spice, then simmered in a buttery onion, tomato and cream sauce. Serve with rice or naan. Adapted from “Indian Butter Chicken I” in the Wikibooks Cookbook (CC BY-SA 4.0). Tandoori masala cut from 50 g plus 3–5 tbsp more to 3 tbsp; added water so the tomato paste becomes a sauce, salt, and single amounts for the chile powder and tomato paste.

Risotto ai Funghi (Mushroom Risotto)

A creamy, deeply savoury risotto built on porcini and their soaking liquid, finished with butter, parsley and Parmesan. Dried porcini work just as well as fresh. Adapted from “Risotto ai Funghi” in the Wikibooks Cookbook (CC BY-SA 4.0). Stock raised from 0.5 to 0.8 litre (plus the mushroom water) so the rice cooks through, wine cut from 1 cup to 150 ml, and vegetable stock used instead of chicken.
