    About Butter Chicken Recipe

    Butter chicken, also known as murgh makhani in India, is a type of curry made with chicken and a spiced tomato and butter (makhan) sauce. Its sauce is well-known for its creamy texture. It is similar to chicken tikka masala in that it contains tomato paste.

    Kundan Lal Jaggi and Kundan Lal Gujral, founders of the Moti Mahal restaurant in Delhi, India, created the curry in the 1950s. The curry was created by chance by combining leftover tandoori chicken in a buttery tomato gravy (makhan). Murgh makhanii (Tandoori chicken cooked in butter and tomato sauce) was published in 1974.

    The English phrase butter chicken curry first appeared in print in 1975, as a house specialty at Gaylord Indian restaurant in Manhattan. It can be found as a filling in pizza, poutine, wraps, roti, or rolls in Toronto and the Caribbean, and as a pie filling in Australia and New Zealand. Curry is popular in India and many other countries.

    What is Butter Chicken

    Chicken is marinated for several hours in a mixture of lemon juice, dahi (yogurt) Kashmiri red chilli, salt, garam masala and ginger garlic paste. This chicken makhani recipe is amazing.

    The chicken is usually cooked in a tandoor (traditional clay oven), but may be grilled, roasted, or pan-fried. It is served in a mild curry sauce that includes butter. The sauce is a tomato- and onion-based sauce that is simmered until smooth and much of the water has evaporated. There are many variations on the composition and spicing of the sauce, which is sieved so that it is finally velvety smooth. Spices may include cardamom, cumin, cloves, cinnamon, coriander, pepper, garam masala and fenugreek. Cream may be used in the sauce or as a garnish. Cashew paste may be used as a thickener and is finally garnished with coriander.

    The dish was developed in 1947 by founders of Moti Mahal restaurant in Delhi, India. The dish was made "by chance" by mixing the leftover chicken in a tomato gravy, rich in butter and cream. In 1974, a recipe was published for "Murgh Makhani" (Tandoori chicken cooked in butter and tomato sauce)".

    In 1975, the English phrase "butter chicken" first appeared in print, as a specialty of the house at Gaylord Indian restaurant in Manhattan. Australia and New Zealand, it is also eaten as a pie filling.  The dish is common in India and many other countries.

    Ingredients for Butter Chicken Masala Recipe

    Chicken :
    One theory is that chicken has a bland flavour when compared to other meats because fat contributes more flavour than muscle (especially in the case of a lean cut like a skinless chicken breast), making it a generic choice for comparison.

    Kashmiri Chilli Powder :
    Kashmiri chiles are tall, thin, wrinkled red chiles that produce a vibrant red powder valued for its colour and mild spiciness. The chile has a slightly smokey flavour. This powder is used in Indian cooking to add colour to dishes that don't require a lot of heat.

    Butter :
    Butter has its own distinct flavour. Because butter is soft, creamy, and rich with just a hint of sweetness, the term buttery  is frequently used to describe other foods.

    Punjabi Butter Chicken Recipe Steps

    Step 1

    Take chicken and all the marination ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Leave it to marinate for 15 to 30 mins.

    Step 2

    Heat 2 tblspn oil in a frying pan and place the marinated chicken in a single layer and cook them on high heat for 5 mins or till the chicken is charred. Flip them over and cook again till the chicken is charred. Switch off the flame and set it aside.

    Step 3

    Now in a kadai. Add oil and butter and let them heat up. Add in jeera and let them sizzle. In goes chopped onion and saute them for 5 mins or till the onion is well browned. In goes ginger garlic paste and saute for a min. Add in red food colouring, chilli powder, garam masala powder, salt and sugar and mix well and cook for 30 sec. Add in  tomato puree and mix well.

    Step 5

    Step 6

    Now crush in the kasuri methi leaves into the gravy and mix well. Simmer again for couple of mins. Switch off the flame and add coriander leaves. Serve with naan or pulav.

      Great recipe. I skipped the food colouring (allergic to red and orange) and added 2 tbsps of 18% cream instead of cream in your recipe. It was yummy.

      @Sachin DeshmukhFresh cream will give this curry a lot of creaminess.

      For preparing cream we have to use boiled or unboiled milk

      Hi arathy, great recipe. Usually you add sugar to the dishes which requires tomatoes. Why did you skip it this time?
