Butter chicken is a very popular dish in India and lots of other countries. Also known as Murg Makhani, the popular Indian non-vegetarian dish of Butter Chicken is easily available across many Indian restaurants and eateries all over India especially the north of India. Butter chicken can be cooked in many variations and it depends what taste you like. You can find this in every restaurant in India and in Indian restaurants in other countries. In this recipe, chicken is marinated with spices, some ingredients and cooked in oven or pan and then added to a gravy made with tomato pieces, spices, cream and ofcourse, butter. Butter Chicken is a gravy chicken preparation where butter, cream, tomato and chicken are the main ingredients. With such a popular dish, everyone has an opinion on how it's meant to be made. This butter chicken recipe is different from the other one, as in this one almond, poppy seeds, cashew nut pastes are added, which gives a different taste from the other butter chicken recipe. I have even used the remaining marinade of chicken I made the previous day. It is optional only and not a must. Instead of it you can make the marinade and add it to the dish if you like to, otherwise you can avoid it. If you want you can add cream to get a smooth texture. In this recipe I have not marinated the chicken, but I have included some pictures of marinating the chicken so that marinated and cooked chicken can be added in the sauce. It is your choice. In this dish I tried to bring that sweetened texture which we have in hotel, the same taste didn’t come, but the taste was good, can be eaten with naan or pulav rice. The same version can be made with butter panner also. It is not spicy ,but sweat and creamy texture is there. Butter chicken goes well with naan, pulav, chapathi or pulkha(roti).
