To get the tandoori flavour, what you can do is, set some smoking red charcoal in a small bowl; set the bowl in the middle of the marinated chicken, and pour some ghee on top of the charcoals. Cover it ASAP with a lid to allow the smoke to flavour the chicken, and let it stay for 10 minutes. Then you can carry on with the grilling process. It will taste almost exactly like the tandoor version. This technique is called "Dhungar" and you can apply it to multiple other dishes wherever you want smoky flavour.
@@stellabellabella1189 this is clearly to replicate the flavour of the fat hitting the hot coals and the smoke flavouring the meat. You still grill or char it separately as Marion did, this is about adding flavour.
This is by far the best n nearest to the authentic version of Butter Chicken ever made by a non-Indian. I m so amazed n so touched. Usually foreigners tend to change the sequence of the dish which would greatly alter their final product. Thank you for keeping it authentic n really appreciate the extraordinary attention to detail u used here inspite of unavailability of ingredients. Salute to u.

I cooked this for my parents. They are still using the left over sauce on toast, potatoes etc. Such a wonderful clarity of flavour. Really good recipe!
The history of butter chicken is so fascinating. In the 1950s, the chefs at Delhi's iconic Moti Mahal restaurant, which brought Peshawar cuisine to India after its partition, were trying to figure out a way to get their tandoori chicken to be more moist. When a Bengali customer wanted a chicken gravy dish, the chefs only had dry tandoori chicken but improvised on it and made a sauce with butter, tomatoes, cream and a few spices. And thus, the butter chicken was born.
I have been making and perfecting butter chicken for years and not a single one of my attempts have been as good as your simple and authentic approach! This will be my go to butter chicken recipe from now on. Less is more people! Thank you for sharing Marion
Mint is a good substitute marion but the dried fenugreek leaves or Kasuri Methi is wayyyy more complex flavour and adds the oomph.... As an Indian I approve, you did really well marion....
@@mayankdewli1010 It's an opinion which he gave! And many people like it & Yes! Nothing harm in informing others who don't know these things. And no cashews doesn't make everything sweet, that's again your personal opinion.
Hands down! The best butter chicken recipe ever! I gave up making butter chicken after trying from so many Indian chefs and finally this recipe has done the trick. Absolutely authentic butter chicken.
I literally went and picked up the ingredients for butter chicken about an hour ago! And then I came home and found this! Marion, are you reading my mind?!?! Lol
Really nice. ..mostly indian restaurants make the gravy with ginger garlic cashew red onions & tomatoes- stir fry ... blend into a paste... then fry this paste in butter till well cooked then add the chicken tikkas....And in marinate we add mustard oil. Finish it off with a bit cream& yea for smokey- try the "coal smoking method" .. if u barbecued the chicken on coal then that's more awesome... Enjoyyyyyy !! Love & Light 💜
Great recipe! Usually here in India we skip the sugar ( or add some brown/ palm sugar) and cream. Instead we blend a handful of toasted cashews with some water and use that!
Marion I made this recipe for a mom who gave birth couple weeks back, for her meal train! I am so glad that I was able to bless her with your recipe. Made some extra so I have it at home for my kids. They enjoyed it well! Thank you for making it kid friendly 😊🙏🏼
You weren't kidding with the restaurant version. Soooo good, I almost cant believe it! I just cooked this dish. I'm now sitting in front my empty plate, happy and writing this comment to thank you for your recipe.
Butter chicken is my new obsession and I’ve made it twice now in as many weeks - my recipe involves pureeing whole tomatoes and generally by the time I’m finished cooking, my kitchen and I are both a disaster! Totally worth it though. However, I will definitely be trying your recipe - I’ve loved all your other ones I’ve tried. Looks delicious - thank you!
I still remember commenting in one of your Video saying that Please cook some Indian food if possible and Today u made my wish come True.. 😍😍😍.. Thankyou so much Marion 😊.. This Butter Chicken Looks Ultimate
This is still my go-to recipe for Butter Chicken for the past 9 months! I love how easy and delicious this recipe is, I keep making it and it's consistently amazing! Thank you for an awesome recipe and easy instructions!
I made this last night. After trying many different butter chicken recipes over the years, this one is the best I've come across so far. Did the chicken on the Weber Q and it turned out awesome.
I just put my chicken in the fridge to marinate overnight for dinner tomorrow! Your recipes are the best, so flavorful and I can’t get enough of them lol! ❤️
Kudos Marion. You are truly a genius to have come up with this simple recipe for butter chicken. Tried it tonight and it turned out perfect. Everyone loved it. 👏👏
Just tried this recipe, used a sandwich press that doubles as a grill to cook the meat, came out a treat! The chilli powder I used was very hot so im still recovering, but this is a massive improvement on literally every other butter chicken recipe Ive made (and theres been a few). I also had some tandoori colouring from an indian grocery store which made it look more authentic. Thanks for sharing Marion!
Just made the recipe and it was amazing! It took some time to char the chicken pieces so we ended up torching it to help it along the process. Definitely going to make it a staple in our kitchen. Thank you Marion ☺️
This is the healthiest version of butter chicken I have seen and it looks delicious. The actual recipe is a bit more complex, but your take is something that people can easily make at home if they can get hold of the spices. Can't wait to see more of Indian recipes by you. Much love from India. 🥰
Great Marion ... Spicing things up ..hnnn🤪. Instead of sugar .. we use honey for sweetness after the cooking is done ... Let's see what you can do to ... Klassic Mutton Rogan Josh
Wow Marion.. wonderful. Next time when you cook, after you added the butter on the skillet add blended cashew nuts+garlic paste. It takes the dish to the next level... love from India. I love your recipes
Yes, thats my fav chilli powder, its reasonably mild but has plenty of flavour. Kashmiri chilli powder, I use in my chilli con carne too. Its available through Ebay.
You need to add coriander powder, cumin powder and dried Fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi), black pepper, black salt, regular salt and hung curd to your marinade. There's a lot missing in your marinade.
She replaced the curd with Greek yogurt. I have seen plenty of recipes but Indians that do not use black salt or black pepper. I have seen fenugreek put in near the end many times. And the person who responded to you mentioned mint because she used that near the end instead of kesuri methi. They were just adding to your points, not correcting you.
Made this recently! Was absolutely delicious! After buying the biggest bag of Kashmiri chilli powder it came as a blessing to see this! I made it a bit more spicy with a bit more powder! Smoked paprika enhanced the charred flavour!
Whenever Marion uploads a new video, that’s my week menu sorted. Made this dish today and it’s freakin’ heaven on a plate! Thank you so much for the amazing food Marion! Keep on keeping on ❤️👏🏽❤️👏🏽❤️👏🏽
This looks yum! We typically use the Kashmiri chilli powder for the colour and tikka chilli powder for the heat. Definitely sprinkle a bit of garam masala and rub a pinch of kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) for that oomph at the end. One more tip: marinate overnight, use mustard oil and butter instead of just mustard and definitely pour a spoon on ghee/ butter over hot charcoal for the tandoor flavour! Hope this helps!
After making so many butter chicken recipes, this one is by far the best i have made. It tastes just like the restaurant style. Creamy and tomato'y 😁 and all those spices just melt in your mouth. Thanks Marion 🙂
Made this with my wife, honestly better than most Indian restaurants if not the same taste! You rock! I charred the chicken on a pancake pan 😆😆 worked out too!
Just made this for our dinner today. It is soooo good👍👍 my picky eater husband also love it😍😍but he dislike the yogurt drizzle in the end. He prefer the yogurt mixed in the sauce before being serve. I used malaysian chilli powder. More heat, so i use less. We ate with angle hair pasta. Love it so much. Will cook it again in future. Thank you Marion🧡🧡
Fantastic recipe. By far the best butter chicken I have had. I have a very underoowered propane stove, and it is too cold outside for the grill, so I used my air fryer heated to the highest temp. Cooked the chicken in two batches allowing it to get charred on the edges.
I made this for dinner last night. Absolutely the best butter chicken recipe. It was delicious, especially with the naan my wife made to go with. Thanks Marion.
Hi Marion! I LOVE your recipes and your engaging presentation. I followed you in this butter chicken recipe, got a cast iron skillet hot to smoking and put in the chicken…then my house filled up with smoke!! I got the perfect charred chicken, but how do you handle the smoke?? Lol. I turned on the stove vent, opened all the windows!! and then went on with your directions, completing a divinely yummy dish…thank you!!! Just wondering how to handle the smoke…🥴❤️
I think it’s more about the chicken how it is cooked, maybe cook it on a bbq to get the charcoal flavour or do as one of the other comments said above, but a bowl of charcoal in the middle of the raw marinated chicken, put ghee over the charcoal and cover it all, sit for 10 mins
The last time I had butter chicken was ages ago. Tried making this today. The dish turned out great❤️❤️❤️. Exactly how I rmb it to b when I used to frequent this awesome Indian restaurant during my youth.
I made this today - couldnt get Kashmiri powder but used gochujang paste instead (probably a bit too much) but omg this has to be the best butter chicken ive ever tasted!!! Thanks Marion!!
Fantastic recipe, very authentic, the only thing I would say is that if you don’t have Kashmiri chilli powder, use half red chilli powder, half paprika, as Kashmiri chilli powder is considered a paprika alternative in Pakistan & India.
I love your cooking. You're an inspiration to me. Love that you are doing Indian cooking. For a creamier curry base add cashew nuts to curry once done blend with stick blender
HEAVEN. Absolute heaven🤤🤤 Butter chicken is one of my absolute favourite comfort foods but I've always been waayy too intimidated by the process and flavours to attempt it at home. This seems really accessible and now we're in lockdown I cannot WAIT to try! Thanks Marion, you ANGEL. xx
I made this tonight. Holy Mary Mother of God is this good. We used a large foil packet with a single layer of chicken and put it on the gas grill at high temp to char the chicken and it was perfect with no clean up. This was divine!❤❤❤❤
This was very close to authentic butter chicken recipe. Loved watching you make it! ♥ And, it's just a suggestion, you could try adding in some onions. Sauté them well and make them into a fine paste and add them along with your tomato puree to balance its tangy flavor.
This looks really good. When I was in Kenya, the butter chicken in Indian Restaurants were made with chicken fillets. The best butter chicken ever. The butter chicken in Malaysia is also made with chicken fillets. I'll make this recpie. But with chicken fillets, as it's much easier.
Couldn't wait for tomorrow, had to watch this as soon as it flashed on my feed! Nice take on this Marion! Will apply your techniques in my next Butter Chicken cookin'. Especially liked the charring of the chicken thighs 💓💪
Can I just say this was amazing!!! I made it but used a different chili powder so it was super spicy but that was easily solved with more sugar and cream. It was so good and easy.
I've never made butter chicken heard so many good things about it, that nd the tikka masala .. Now that I see you make this Marion, I'm like now I have got to have this on my dinner table!!!! I'm going to be trying this very soon yum so Dsng Dalicious , I like your version tone it down a little bit for the less heat-sensitive this is essential4 the Family& kiddos..yummy two words for This fantastic dish..(yummilicious) 👏👌🐔🌻🌹🪴🪴🎊
Wow what an effort. I prepare this dish once in a week. After years of making this dish at home my taste has evolved - I would give 99% to Dried /Roasted fenugreek leaves sprinkling + Honey(instead of sugar) in the end and 1% for all the Butter Chicken preparation - Try it - you would be amazed and transformed.
Looks great. Some Indian chefs suggest cooking the sauce down to a thick paste before adding the cream. It intensifies the flavors as the tomato sauce caramelizes a little before each stir. You might not even have to add any extra sugar at the end.
To get the tandoori flavour, what you can do is, set some smoking red charcoal in a small bowl; set the bowl in the middle of the marinated chicken, and pour some ghee on top of the charcoals. Cover it ASAP with a lid to allow the smoke to flavour the chicken, and let it stay for 10 minutes. Then you can carry on with the grilling process. It will taste almost exactly like the tandoor version. This technique is called "Dhungar" and you can apply it to multiple other dishes wherever you want smoky flavour.
yes absolutely correct , we use this technique almost in many north indian or mughal gravy dish, inspired from Persia
She made an alternative
@@stellabellabella1189 this is clearly to replicate the flavour of the fat hitting the hot coals and the smoke flavouring the meat. You still grill or char it separately as Marion did, this is about adding flavour.
Do you do this before or after cooking the chicken?
@@GregSzarama always start smoking meat from raw. Smoke flavour won't penetrate or adhere to already-cooked meat very well.

The best dishes tend to be made on an accident lol 😆 Thank you friend, for that back story about the dish🙂
Kashmiri red chilly powder don’t actually have much heat in it. It’s a mild chilly powder & mainly used for it’s deep red color in Indian cooking.
It’s very similar to paprika too
You are right. But that’s only for us who can tolerate the heat. It’s quite hot for the goras. :D
@@VinayShekhar I think that would be me. ;)
Please.. it's very hot and it hurts 😭🥺😭🥺

if you meal prep this with the rice and keep in the fridge, it actually tastes better by day 2 or day 3 of eating it! Trust me
Mint is a good substitute marion but the dried fenugreek leaves or Kasuri Methi is wayyyy more complex flavour and adds the oomph.... As an Indian I approve, you did really well marion....
Yoy are right, kasuri methi is the way to go! I'm blessed that i can find it here in Sweden!
Does kasuri methi need to be soaked like fenugreek before you cook it to get rid of the bitterness?
@@roxannesmith4519 no you don’t need to soak it , it’s the dried leaves of a fenugreek plant. It’s a real game changer for a good Butter Chicken.
You're right, there's nothing like kasuri methi. It's one more ingredient that gives it the "authentic" flavour.
@@roxannesmith4519 too add it on top of a curried dish ... dry rosy them on a pan and sprinkle in the end !
Unasked opinion: Add cashew paste in the recipe and it elivates the taste level in Butter Chicken. Love you Marion 💖💞
Do you blend it?
@@makejihyomainvocalistagain9217 nope!
Its not necessary. Not everyone like cashws. It makes everything sweet. I hate it

I love your cooking. You're an inspiration to me. Love that you are doing Indian cooking. For a creamier curry base add cashew nuts to curry once done blend with stick blender
I made this and it was f’ing incredible, thank you so much, Marion. 💕
Wow Marion, Indian recipes!!! Really appreciate that!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I don’t know why your vids had stopped coming up but here you are and I’m so happy! BTW, your baby girl is a doll!
HEAVEN. Absolute heaven🤤🤤 Butter chicken is one of my absolute favourite comfort foods but I've always been waayy too intimidated by the process and flavours to attempt it at home. This seems really accessible and now we're in lockdown I cannot WAIT to try! Thanks Marion, you ANGEL. xx
I made this tonight. Holy Mary Mother of God is this good. We used a large foil packet with a single layer of chicken and put it on the gas grill at high temp to char the chicken and it was perfect with no clean up. This was divine!❤❤❤❤
This was very close to authentic butter chicken recipe. Loved watching you make it! ♥
And, it's just a suggestion, you could try adding in some onions. Sauté them well and make them into a fine paste and add them along with your tomato puree to balance its tangy flavor.
This looks really good. When I was in Kenya, the butter chicken in Indian Restaurants were made with chicken fillets. The best butter chicken ever. The butter chicken in Malaysia is also made with chicken fillets. I'll make this recpie. But with chicken fillets, as it's much easier.
Couldn't wait for tomorrow, had to watch this as soon as it flashed on my feed! Nice take on this Marion! Will apply your techniques in my next Butter Chicken cookin'. Especially liked the charring of the chicken thighs 💓💪
Can I just say this was amazing!!! I made it but used a different chili powder so it was super spicy but that was easily solved with more sugar and cream. It was so good and easy.
Was just about to post my butter chicken recipe on my insta cooking account and Marion decided to one up me. This recipe is brilliant!!
I've never made butter chicken heard so many good things about it, that nd the tikka masala .. Now that I see you make this Marion, I'm like now I have got to have this on my dinner table!!!!
I'm going to be trying this very soon yum so Dsng Dalicious , I like your version tone it down a little bit for the less heat-sensitive this is essential4 the Family& kiddos..yummy two words for
This fantastic dish..(yummilicious) 👏👌🐔🌻🌹🪴🪴🎊
Absolutely amazing ❤️ sugar is good cause it cuts the acidity from the tomatoes ❤️ you made this is perfect style 👌 keep it up
Don't be sorry for using paprika as a color booster for this Marion, I've did worse: I used annatto powder. 😆
I have used dried beetroot powder and it works really well
Wow what an effort. I prepare this dish once in a week. After years of making this dish at home my taste has evolved - I would give 99% to Dried /Roasted fenugreek leaves sprinkling + Honey(instead of sugar) in the end and 1% for all the Butter Chicken preparation - Try it - you would be amazed and transformed.
Looks great. Some Indian chefs suggest cooking the sauce down to a thick paste before adding the cream. It intensifies the flavors as the tomato sauce caramelizes a little before each stir. You might not even have to add any extra sugar at the end.
As an Indian, I approve. Marion can do no wrong.
Whaaaat???? You just blew my mind with the microplane zester! I will be using it from now on on ginger!!!
So much easier than blending it all up!
Fabulous dish, not too many ingredients. Never buying takeaway butter chicken again. Another Marion success. (love her crispy chilli oil recipe)
Made this last night. Added finely chopped onion to the base sauce, but otherwise stuck to the recipe. Totally delicious.
This is the best recipe I've come across by far! After a lot of searching and trying ....Thankyou 👍
You are as good as my favorite chef youtuber, Chef John!! I can't get enough of your videos!! Can you make the pilau rice that goes with this please?
