This is, hands down, the best butter chicken I have ever eaten, never mind that I have cooked. Cooked this for family tonight and some felt it was the BEST CURRY we have had (and we have had a few, I can tell you) Shamza I think you are phenomenal. Did the keema rice too which was outstanding x
I made this today for the first time and it was AMAZING! I made this with the naan recipe from the same channel. What I love about the recipes on this channel is they are simple to make and are not over complicated with too many ingredients. Best cooking channel on TH-cam!! Thanks so much snd keep the recipes coming.
Thank you so much Rehana for your kind words 🙏 I'm just following recipes and ways my late gran and mum used to make food at home. No fancy ingredients. Glad it's being appreciated 😌 🙏
Amazing! Add a stick of Cinnamon, a pair of bay leaves, and 4-5 Cardamoms, when frying the chicken. Leave it there when boiling the onions, tomato and stuff that will induce additional flavor. Go easy on Fenugreek leaves they induce some bitterness also, you may want to add a bit of honey when adding the butter in the end. Works perfect all the time for me. God Bless! Keep more coming!

Butter chicken is the best entry dish for anyone new to Indian food. I sometimes cheat a bit by getting some high-quality Italian Passata (preferably Mutti) and blending it with some blended cashew nuts, and just dump it into the pot after sauteeing ginger/garlic paste, deseeded green chili, along with kashmiri chili powder, cardamom powder, mace powder and cumin seeds powder. I also add some honey, and kasoori methi for that extra punch. Sometimes, I also add left-over roasted tandoori chicken to the mix.
@@MyLittleKitchenRecipes it was really really nice Shamza but I will be honest I think your Chicken Changezi pips it at the post. But still a superb curry as always your recipes never let us down 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I’ve made this recipe twice so far. Both times, it has wowed the family and the second time, our guests raved about it. My only change was that I added cashews to the masala. Thank you for sharing these incredible recipes and how to do it :) I’ve learned so much from your channel!
Did you simply add in cashews at the start and then blended everything in a mixer and passed through a sieve? I assume this adds a level of richness to the sauce?
@@cheddarUSA1 yes that is exactly what I did. I blended it in a Vitamix and didn’t have to pass it through a sieve. I found it to be very smooth and rich. Probably my new favourite dish.
Your butter chicken looks absolutely delicious and you are a beautiful person. I always look forward to your end tasting bit, you make it sounds so interesting. I very much make in a same way but next time i want to make exactly in your way. You simplify the recipe so nicely.

I made this tonight and followed your video every step of the way. It was WONDERFUL. The spices were the perfect blend. You also have a recipe for base masala, the gravy. Would that be the same sauce as this butter chicken, just adding the butter and cream?
E Grace, thank you. Glad it was enjoyed. To some degree yes in regards to the ingredients but the method of not fryimg the onions and tomatoes is where it differs.
Lovely dish u prepared is just perfect 🥰 This competes with the butter chicken we have in Delhi corners .I think I was the earliest to watch ur video always looking forward to . Thumbs up 👍 to wonder woman .
Fantastic video, im a new subscriber today, i live in newcastle fenham, your voice sounds like u have a hint ov our accent, wow great video, i need to try your recipes.

I will try this recipe soon Shamza, just to clarify,- 1) There is no oil used when you add the onions, tomatoes etc. to your heated pan, am I correct in thinking this, and 2) I'm not sure how many tablespoons of ginger & garlic paste to use, if there's one tablespoon to each cube of garlic and ginger paste, I can't figure out if that means four tablespoons of ginger garlic paste or eight, (for each of the ginger and garlic cubes), as eight tablespoons sounds a lot. I will await your reply and try this recipe once this is clarified, looks delicious! I've never made murgh makhani before but your tikka massala recipe that I tried was lovely, I've cooked that several times
Butter was added along with the base ingredients. Oil was reserved for frying the chicken in. Each frozen garlic cube equates to 1 tablespoon of the paste or puree. So I used 2 garlic and two ginger cubes, so you'll need 2 tablespoons of ginger and 2 tablespoons of garlic paste if you've not got the frozen cubes.
Degi mirch? its similar to Kashmiri chilli powder, if you can't find degi mirch you can use kashmiri chilli powder I think most asain supermarkets will sell either of those.
This buttered chicken recipe is amazing!!!😀 I usually get it by ordering and now I have a recipe to make it myself 😋😊.I've made buttered chicken before but wasnt so good 🤣
Hi can you please give the ingredients, i made this and its beautiful but feel im missing 1 ingredient thanks so much,it the one u mentioned after coriander powder
Can I ask a question on a previous video plz? In your Tandoori roast chicken and potatoes video you mention creating a gravy with the stock/juice from the chicken. You said create a slurry from cornflour but you never specified exactly how much cornflour to water was needed? Please can you tell me .....Tia
Hi, I have downloaded the ingredients of this recipe but m totally mixed up, could you just have a look and see if they are right please, Am loving your recipes
Hi Anita, this recipe is a two step process. The masala base and marination of the meat. Kindly elaborate as to what it is you don't understand so I can further assist.
Hi Sue the ingredients are listed in the description box below the video, that will probably be deghi mirch, or alternatively use kashmiri chilli powder.
Can I ask how much double cream do you use? 😄 I have just placed an order of all the spices online and can’t wait to try! Any alternatives to the frozen garlic and ginger cubes? Thanks Jackie

Hi Helen the ingredients can be found within the description box under the video. I hope you enjoy the recipess, do subscribe and turn your bell notifications on to be notified of my new videos.
I'm searching for a recipe to use with cooked meat (yes, its the turkey). I have tried marinading cooked meat but the spices don't render and cook the same way. I have turkey and veg stock that I can use to add some moisture, is there anything else I can do? Otherwise take add all the spices together and cook them out? I'll toy with adding some colour to the turkey pieces in stock.
Sorry for the late response James. I hope you managed to cook up something tasty using left over turkey. I'm afraid I haven't cooked with turkey ever so I am unable to comment on what it would need to elevate the flavour more. I know once my hubby made a curry out of chicken that I used to make chicken broth and I can tell you it was bland & flavourless. In my humble opinion once meat is cooked and we try to re create another dish using it, it's pretty pointless as all the flavour has gone into the first cook, you're never really going to get that flavour.
Not being critical...this is a very nice recipe as always...but cashew paste is a very important part of traditional butter chicken. Why did you leave it out?
Sorry, i tried it today. It was not good. The taste of raw onions and tomatoes was very pronounced. No butter flavour ! What did do wrong. Can you provide another recipe. Thankns
I made your butter chicken tonight from scratch my wife said it was the best curry I'd ever made thank you

I don't see why not. I've never tried it so cannot comment how it will turn out in the end.
Wonderful to hear this! Thanks for sharing 👍 😊
Wat can you use instead of double cream
Single cream or coconut cream which will alter the taste.
21/ June 2024 Just made this dish tonight absolutely delicious.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it
How do you make those garlic and ginger cubes?
Hi I don't make them myself, they are supermarket bought.

With the color in the spices there’s no need to add artificial coloring. Thanks 🙏🏽 for sharing
