Would u plz tell me, should i take heaped spoos of chilli powder or level?
Plz reply
@sumeraIt depends on your spice level. You can add as much as you like
Thanks for reply! I made it today and my hubby loved it.
Hi, thanks for your yummy blog, you're great! 🙂 I have a question – is "casuri methi leaves" very very important ingredient or I can skip it with no harm to the final effect? I live in Poland and I have difficulties with some ingredients, but I'd like to prepare a dish as close to the original Indian foof as possible 🙂
@Anonymousif u want the real taste, use kasuri methi.but u can leave it as well.
@Aarthi
Hi, thanks for your reply 🙂 I did it without kasuri methi finally. It was totally awesome-delicious-spicy-creamy-yoummy-best dish ever! 🙂 Today I'm doing it again. Thanks for this receipe!

Dear arathi i tried butter chicken and aromatic rice pilaf wow its came out awesome i achieved exactly restaurants taste every one in my family praise me thank u so much arathi
Hi, I've tried this recipe twice and absolutely love how it tastes. However I didn't achieve the color as in your picture. Could it be because I did not add the kashmiri chili powder (couldn't find)? Mine was more towards a kurma color.
Can I use non diary whipping cream instead of fresh cream
Hi Aarthi..instead of doing the chk in the oveb.. Can it be pan fried and then put?
The sub featured tender butter chicken breast in a creamy and authentic butter chicken sauce, which we ordered toasted with cheese and topped with all our favourite fillings. Personally, I thought this sub was especially delicious with spinach, tomato and red onion. The crisp and cool vegetables were the perfect compliment to the warm and creamy butter chicken, especially with a touch of mayo!
HI, Aarthi! Thank you so much for this recipe. I LOVE it. Was craving butter chicken and this turned out even better than any store bought curry.MY family loved it too. Keep up the amazing work.
it was so yummy. thank you so much
