So my OH told me that butter chicken is his favourite dish but I nor my mum have ever cooked it before. We’ve tried it restaurants but not tried it at home
Anyways does anyone have an authentic yummy recipe for me?! Yes I’ve googled it but there are soo many recipes out there I wouldn’t even know where to start
Thankies!
P.s I usually go to the trusted fauzia for recipes but even she doesn’t have one on her site 
Re: butter chicken recipe please!!
Its very easy
Ingredients
Chicken 1 kilo
salt: to taste
Onion (grind-ed): 2 medium sized
ginger garlic paste: 1tbsp
Yogurt: 1/2 cup
Butter: 4tbsp
Black pepper: 3/4 tsp
White pepper: 3/4 tsp
Cumin powder: 1/2 tsp
Garam masala powder (optional): 1/2 tsp
Cooking cream: 3/4 cup
Green chillies: to garnish
Method:
1. transparent onion in the oil and add ginger garlic paste cook for a minute then add chicken.
2. Cook untill chicken smells good.
3. Now add all masalas and add yogurt and let it cook untill chicken would tender.
4. When chicken will tender add cream to it and cook for 2 to 3 mins.
5. After that add butter in it and give it a dum for 2 mins and also garnish with coriander leaves and green chilli.
This is how I made and it turns out delicious, you can use 1/2 cream also if a bit calorie conscious. If you dont want oil you can fry onion in butter too but butter after cooking and put on dum add taste to it, which is my tested one. Hopefully you will like it insha'Allah

Thanks so much for the recipe! That does seem pretty straight forward, I don't know why I thought it would be much more complicated! I've noticed that you didn't add any chilli powder or coriander powder? Did you decide to not add it or does the recipe not call for any? Im going to try it out tomorrow and I will let you know how it turns out :D
If anyone has anymore recipes your more than welcome to post them on here!!

instead of yogurt i always add tomato paste, and i also add powdered almonds/kajoo/til/poppy seeds.. it makes the texture very creamy
Re: butter chicken recipe please!!
Marinate chicken in tandoori masala or whatever for ages - bake until done. Pick apart the meat from the bones, set aside meat and discard bones. Take a bunch of tomatoes and puree - strain them so no seeds are visible. Fry up some garlic and onion, add the tomato puree along with garam masala, salt, black pepper, red chilli powder...simmer this sauce for a while until it thickens. Add a bit of heavy whipping cream to turn a sauce a creamy pink/red color, the chicken, and simmer for a bit. Add huge dollops of butter and you're done.

My recipe has no chilli powder as we need to keep it white too but you can add, however flavour can be bit changed. Coriander powder is also not included, butter chicken has a bit different taste than traditional handies

May be, i do follow some recipes of TV i usually dont try them blindly, i just sometime watch to get an idea and usually i devise my own. For baking sometimes i get particular initially 2 or 3 times but now i even dont follow those blindly

Re: butter chicken recipe please!!

Dont know it tastes like restaurants or not but it is delicious. Cooking cream is not separately available in Pakistan so have to go with tetra pack cream.
Re: butter chicken recipe please!!
If you want to serve an American version of this dish that is also very delicious then you should try pioneer woman's recipe from her cooking blog, I had this at a iftar last night and everyone seemed to enjoy it.
butter chicken recipe please!!
I heard that an authentic recipe has ground almonds and tomatoes in it? I'll be trying that next! It was yummy and creamy though. I did find that it didn't have a 'shora' like consistency, it got quite thick - but that was probably my fault, not the recipes.

Use double cream or heavy cream - whatever you call it!

It shouldn't be watery...it should be slightly thick and creamy. And yes, authentic recipes have tomatoes in them. Butter chicken is usually in a red-pink sauce.
