Directions
Restaurant Style Indian Butter Chicken (Chicken Makhani),My friends always ask me to make them my Butter Chicken (Chicken Makhani) when I invite them over for dinner! It’s *SO* good that I have stopped ordering it at Indian Restaurants! use a few drops of liquid smoke to give it a ‘tandoori’ flavour, and don’t skip the dried fenugreek leaves. They are what make it taste as though it’s from your favourite curry house! UPDATE: One individual has complained that there is excess chili powder in this recipe. It may be that North American chili powder has less heat? Certainly do not omit this ingredient. used the usual ‘chili powder’ found at North American grocery stores, the generic type often used in Chili Con Carne. (I hope this clarifies any confusion!),Ingredients states crushed tomatoes but directions stated tomato pure. Which one is best for a success? Thank you. Looking forward to trying this!,Why Don’t you add onion or onion paste as Indian food is incomplete without onions???
