Directions
Indian Butter Chicken, This is a good recipe to make for someone just trying Indian food. This version came from Sunset March 2001. Feel free to add more jalapeno if you like it hotter, or add some cayenne pepper after tasting., All diners here declared this dish a hit. I skipped the blender step and left the sauce a tad chunky. I thought the sauce was a tad thin, but it was wonderful on the rice so not a problem. I will make this again!
