The best
The ultimate homemade butter chicken – this is by far the best homemade version I’ve ever tried & tastes authentic.
5 star recipe!
I made this recipe a few times and it’s so delicious and flavourful.
My friends and family also love this recipe.
I always make big batches because when I feel I don’t want to cook, but want to eat something that makes me so happy, then I’m so happy I can eat this with only adding vegetables and rice.
It’s easy to order kashmiri chilipowder online and I’m happy that I used it.
It is really a different kind of chilipowder and I really recommend it to buy it.
Sending love from Holland ❤️
Restaurant quality Butter Chicken!
I was first introduced to Indian food almost 30 years ago by my girlfriend (now wife of 25 years). Since then, I have purchased books, researched recipes and tried numerous times to replicate as close as possible to what we like in the Indian restaurants we have frequented the last 25 years. This is the recipe I have been looking for. Have tried twice this week and the family loves it!
