    Butter masala is my favorite go to curries even in restaurant or take away, even it is paneer or chicken. I simply love it. The simply silky gravy with a little tangyness and sweetness makes it so unique and mouth watering. Recently i found the trick for making the perfect butter chicken. Check out my punjabi butter chicken.
