Fantastic recipe! Thanks Shana!
Thank you Rebecca 🙂
I am not getting the correct red colour which is the hallmark of Butter Chicken. Can I use Ratanjot to get the colour
I have asked this question but so far no reply. The question is inspite of using the kashmiri chilli powder I am not getting that tempting and inviting red colour. Can I use a little bit of Ratan Jot ? Thanks and regards
The recipe turned out to be fantastic. I’ll definitely make this again.
I do have to admit though that it took me more than 3 hours to make this and 40 mins is gross underestimation of the time required to make this.
That’s good to know.. I firmly believe you will be faster next time though :).. I will take a look at the estimated time again. Thanks.
there is no onion in this recipe? am just curious, I used to think it was an essential ingredient
from my vast research the old-style Delhi butter chicken, onion is not used, it gives a different texture all in all.. Quite delicious recipe. do try. Even in those versions with onion, not much is used.. like this one also yummy. https://recipesaresimple.com/best-indian-butter-chicken-delicious-creamy-chicken-in-tomato-gravy/

This spread has not only promoted the Indian cuisine culture but has also encouraged nations to make their own butter chicken variations: Canada’s Butter Chicken roti; New York’s Butter Chicken tacos; and New Zealand’s butter chicken pie. For chefs willing to make their own Indian delicacies, butter chicken is a fairly simple dish and a great place to start. The best way to get the true Indian taste of butter chicken is to follow Moti Mahal’s butter chicken recipe. […]
