Little did I know that when one reader asked for an easy Butter Chicken recipe, it would take me SEVEN tries to get it right (seven ain’t a lucky number for nothing).
I tried 7 different versions until I settled on the recipe below. It was one of those things I just had to get right. Some recipes have butter in them and some don’t but what I learnt is that traditional Indian cooking doesn’t use butter, but Ghee instead, which is clarified butter. It is a technical detail and I am not entirely sure how important it is to the end flavour but I thought I would mention it. This recipe however uses neither! The creaminess is imparted by the cream and tastes perfect – trust me!
I must also thank Rehana Cajee, one of our readers and my mom for sending me Butter Chicken recipes to try! Thank-you!!!
