Does anyone have an awesome butter chicken recipe? One that tastes just like u get at places like Anmol BBQ in chicago …
I tried making butter chicken once before…it wasn’t that yummy. Probably cos i used Shan masala recipe lol.

Re: Butter Chicken
I made butter chicken last week using sanjeevkapoor-khazana’s recipe on YT, pretty much followed it 95%. It was very good! I was sick of cooking on the first day, but it tasted splendid the second day. For the sauce I used tomatoes like his recipe, but so many recipes call for tomato puree. My sauce turned out a bit thick, so next time i’ll have to adjust that somehow.
Also his recipe uses tandoori chicken, so I made boneless tandoori based on his other recipe lol.
Thank you Sehar and Gemini! Def gnna try these
Butter Chicken
Use heavy cream and sour cream (pint). I marinate and fry the CHCIKEN pieces. I add the butter afterwards and cook it till the oil separates from gravy. I also add some puréed cashews to gravy.

Re: Butter Chicken
I am soooo picky about butter chicken and because I’m disappointed in restaurants, I never even try it.
Their butter chicken is that good?
I absolutely love their food…the butter chicken is perfect…it’s not oily, it’s got the perfect blend of tomato and cream and spices…and it’s cooked so it’s not like ur just eating tomato sauce and chicken woth globs of oil. Plus their naans are killer! Soft and fluffy and just omg lol. I think they are easily the best restaurant on Devon. Their decor is off (as most in that area)…but the food is epic.
Re: Butter Chicken
I agree with you there…their food rocks. My all time favorite is their tandoori chargha…love it. I will HAVE to try their butter chicken now!!!
