Preparation

·         Marinate the chicken pcs with all ingredients mentioned above.

·         Keep it aside for minimum 1 hour. Here I kept it overnight in the refrigerator.

·         Heat butter in a pan and add marinated chicken pcs.

·         Shallow fry it. Keep it aside.

·         In the same pan add onion and saute it for some time.

·         Then add ginger garlic paste.

·         Saute it till raw smell goes.

·         Add turmeric powder, Kashmiri chilly powder, cumin powder, garam masala and salt.

·         Saute it on a medium flame.

·         Then add tomato pcs and mix them well.

·         Cook well. When it cooked, switch off the flame and let it cool.

·         Then grind this to a fine paste by adding some water.

·         Filter the mix using a strainer.

·         Pour this mix and fried chicken pcs to the pan and add some butter.

·         Cook it about 10 mins and add kasoori methi and sugar.

·         Mix well and cook it again for 3 to 4 mins until the gravy thickens. I like butter chicken with slight thick gravy. You can cook it until you get the desired consistency or a thick gravy.

·         Finally add fresh cream and switch off the flame.

Tasty Butter chicken is ready to serve.

Note:

·         If you don’t have fresh cream, mix 1 tsp corn flour with some water. Then add this to the gravy.

·         For kasoori methi leaves, take some fresh fenugreek leaves, dry roast it for 5 to 8 mins. Then crush it with your hands.
