Restaurant Style Creamy Butter Chicken

Restaurant Style Creamy Butter Chicken

Butter chicken, also known as murgh makhani, is a classic Indian dish that has become a favorite in many countries around the world. It is believed to have originated in the 1950s in Delhi, India, when a chef accidentally mixed leftover tandoori chicken with a tomato-based gravy. The result was so delicious that it became an instant hit and the dish quickly gained popularity.

To make butter chicken, traditionally you marinate chicken in tandoori masala and grill or pan-fry it. Then you prepare a sauce or curry by cooking tomatoes and spices and thickening it with cashew paste. Finally, you add butter and cream to create a rich, creamy texture, and garnish the dish with coriander. The signature blend of spices gives the dish its unique flavor.

Despite its complex flavors, making butter chicken at home can be easy with the right recipe and tips. By following step-by-step instructions and using ingredients like Kasoori methi and Kashmiri red chilli powder, you can achieve a restaurant-style taste in your own kitchen. Serve with naan, rice, or roti for a complete and satisfying meal.

The secret to making an amazing butter chicken lies in the marination of the chicken and the spices used in the curry. The recipe I am going to share with you today is restaurant-style and has well-balanced flavors that will leave your taste buds wanting more. Here are some tips and tricks for making the perfect butter chicken:

Masth Tips and tricks:

  1. Marinate the chicken in tandoori masala for at least 30 minutes to infuse it with flavor.
  2. Shallow fry the chicken until it’s 90% done. This will ensure that the chicken stays juicy and tender.
  3. Use Kashmiri red chilli powder to give the curry a rich color without making it too spicy.
  4. Adding a little bit of sugar to the curry will balance out the acidity of the tomatoes and give it a slightly sweet taste.
  5. Use kasoori methi (dried fenugreek leaves) to add a unique flavor and aroma to the curry.

I hope you enjoy this amazing butter chicken recipe! It’s a crowd-pleaser and perfect for any occasion. Don’t be afraid to experiment with the spices to suit your taste preferences.
