Butter Chicken Recipe

Butter chicken recipe one of India’s favourite dish. You can find this chicken dish in almost all Indian restaurant menus, it is one the best dish in India I can say. We often try to experiment with different dishes when we go to any restaurant but again we say nothing can beat the taste of butter chicken. We often think we cannot make or it is impossible to make at home, then you are absolutely wrong. Making this at home is easy but has multiple steps, which you can’t skip. If you skip then you will not the taste of restaurants.

There are around 4 steps in making perfect butter chicken recipe. The first step is the marination. If you don’t marinate the chicken then the chicken will not become soft and would become rubber-like. So marination is always important. The second step is grilling the marinated chicken. Usually, in restaurants, they grill the chicken in a traditional tandoor. So if you have a traditional tandoor or electric tandoor then you can grill not that. And if you don’t have any of that, no worries you can still grill it on the grill pan, as did in the video.  The third step is the gravy, butter chicken gravy is not very thick or runny. You need to have the gravy wherein the chicken pieces are covered with a layer of gravy and you should be able to see oil on top of the gravy.  And the fourth step is the smokey flavour. It was Indian tradition to cook on fire using sticks or coal. Which used to give the dish a Smokey flavour.
