Please share it.
Re: Butter Chicken
i need a really good one too! i have a couple already .. but there was this one recipe i found online which was just so wonderful and i forgot to save it and haven’t been able to find it since. All i can remember was that a sauce (tomato or something) was made just before serving and mixed into the whole thing. The rest could be cooked before.

Re: Butter Chicken
slinky,
i always use the canned tomato puree/paste and it tastes great. You should be okay with not using mustard oil, i dont think it will make any difference.

Re: Butter Chicken
Hi,
I made the butter chicken and it was so good! The only downside was the amount of butter!!! It was really too much, next time maybe i would add half if not a third of the mentioned amount.
Thanks sweetNsour for the recipe!
