    Healthy Butter Chicken (Murgh Makhani),Stolen from Sapna Magazine Online, edited for clarity. This version has 75% less fat and 60% fewer calories than the traditional Murgh Makhani. Edited 6/18/08 based on commenters.,As written, I can only give this 3 stars because it simply wasn’t nearly as close to Butter Chicken (one of my all time favorites) as I hoped or expected. While making this, used about a third of the cayenne called for in the recipe, and I’m glad that I did because even with just that amount, this was far spicier than I’ve ever had. I think the cayenne and perhaps so much tomato flavor also gave this more of chili taste than a curry taste overall. **************************** All of that said, this wasn’t at all terrible, and I will give it another try using something like 1/3 teaspoon of cayenne and perhaps leaving out the tomato paste and sticking with just the tomato puree. The other flavors from the other spices and ingredients were wonderful but just too overpowered. If I can bring those more to the front with those changes, I think this could really be a winner. **************************** Thank you for posting a healthier alternative to one of my faves!
