Keto Butter Chicken

I absolutely love Indian food, it is my favorite type of cuisine.  Unfortunately, I didn’t discover how much I loved Indian food until sometime in late 2015… a quarter of my life, wasted.  I guess you could say now I’m making up for lost time.  During my final semester of student teaching I would each lunch in the teacher’s lounge with some of the other teacher’s in the school.  On the days I packed some sort of Indian dish, they would always stare curiously at my plate for several minutes, before the 7th grade science teacher/baseball coach would finally speak up and ask, “what the hell are you eating?”.
