Marinate for 30 minutes.
Boil finely chopped tomatoes and pass it through a seive to remove tomato skin and seeds.
Fry the chicken in oil for 5 minutes or so. Add tomatoe puree. Cook for 5-10 minutes.
Add melted butter and cook for another couple of minutes.
Remove from heat and add the cream.
Serve hot with parathas/naans.
Ira bibi: I did but I didnt find this one :p the recipe i have is asking to marinate for 4 hours.. this one says 30 mins... big difference, I guess I will go for two hours :D
Raima: I tried that one once and it was good but it wasn't the shahnawaz type that I was looking for.. their butter chicken is just yummilicious!!!
Re: Urgent: Butter chicken
Here what I do but since I am true desan, I don't know the exact measurment for ingredients.
Ingredients:
Oil- 2tbsp
Salt-1/2 tsp
Mirch-1tsp
Haldi-1tsp
Dhania powder-1/2tsp
Heay cream-1qt
Tomato sauce-1can(16oz)
Chicken: 1kg or 2 pounds in small cubes
Butter: 1 stick
ginger/garlic paste-1tsp
sugar-1tbsp or according to you taste
First take the chickem cubes and oil. Put it in a pan and let the water dry. Then bonify it little.
Then take butter stick when it melts, add garlic and ginger paste. cook it for few minutes.
add tomato sauce, salt, mirch, haldi and dhania powder. Cook it until you can see the butter coming up.
add heavy cream, taste it, if it tastes ok then add chicken cubes.
cook it for few minutes and then add sugar.
Cook for couple of minutes, add sookhi methi and leave it on low heat for 15 minutes.
I am at work so don't remember the exact measurement of everything but I make it this way and so far everyone liked it.
Re: Urgent: Butter chicken
I made BC today and oh man it was so good , much better than the last time i had made it. And im not kidding, i used the shan masala recipe, with just a few tiny variations and it came out pretty well..........
Re: Urgent: Butter chicken
what kinda butter is used for that ?
Re: Urgent: Butter chicken
^ idk i had the land-o-lakes butter sticks... btw the shan masala recipe asked for a entire stick of it (hence "BUTTER CHICKEN") but i usd only about 1/3.
Re: Urgent: Butter chicken
Thanks everyone.. in fact i mixed and matched couple of recipes (Raima’s and njaveed) and it turned out just perfect.. it was even better than the shahnawaz’s/ Shalimar’s butter chicken. 
hsap: I used unsalted butter.. is that what you are asking for?

Re: Urgent: Butter chicken
I've had butter chicken at a resturaunt here in DC and it tasted sweet. Im sure I've had it at parties where it wasn't sweet, actually I'm not sure if it was butter chicken or chicken karahi. Does butter chicken have to be sweet.
Re: Urgent: Butter chicken
I made butter chicken last week using a similiar recipe to Raima's and it turned out pretty good. It was easy and pretty yummy at the same time.
