Butter chicken curry, the best weekday meal

- All the curries have been popping off on the channel lately so here’s another one. In this one, we're going to make the most incredible, full of flavour butter chicken that’s as close to the original as possible. This is a remake of my version of butter chicken that I made when I first started my channel but this one in my opinion is way better. The ingredients have been tested and experimented with to release more flavour and the technique is slightly different, resulting in a better overall product. I hope you enjoy this butter chicken curry as much as I do. Please enjoy.

#butterchicken #chickencurry #curryrecipe
These videos paced/edited just right allowing the enthusiasm to shine through and the recipes are not complicated. I just need to try them.🤤
As.someone who is Indian, uou did a fantastic job on the.curry.Nice touch.adding whole.spices.to the rice.Looks soooo good I swear I could almost taste.it.
I made this for the first time and it was phenomenal 🙌 so so nice
Happy to hear that! Glad you enjoyed it
For those who like the kasuri methi you can make it taste even better by grinding the dried methi in a pestle and mortar and then use a fine tea sieve to remove the larger bits and only add the resulting powder. The extra 2 min step takes the sauce on a whole other level. Also dont foget you really should be straining the sauce after its been purified with a blender. :)
So, I have spent the last 30 years trying to make decent Indian curries. I thought mine was pretty good but last night I tried this recipe and it was honestly the best butter chicken I've ever made. The only thing I did differently was I stuck the chicken thighs under the grill to help get a good char. It was absolutely delicious! Thanks Jack!
This is awesome to hear! I’m so glad you found a recipe that works for you! If you ever need a recipe I can promise all of mine are legit haha. Glad you enjoyed it 😊
@@ChefJackOvens Oh I believe! I've been making lots of your recipes! The peanut butter coconut chicken is a winner in this house too!
Others have said it here but I'll add my advice too. I made Butter Chicken a few times over the years, but it always tasted as though it was missing that final "thing". Then I discovered Methi (fenugreek) leaves. If I can find them in New Zealand, you can find them where you are. They are a MUST in Butter Chicken.
I do apologise for that, I tried to get fenugreek leaves but couldn’t get them anywhere!
@@ChefJackOvens They don't seem to sell them in supermarkets which is annoying. I buy a bag of it online every few months.
Try using fenugreek powder, it's much easier to get and gives a great depth of flavour too.
@@ChefJackOvens I managed to get some! So it's the leaves and not the powder? That's good because I couldn't find any fenugreek powder!
@@milkshake3350 Ah, the powder is better? I shall keep looking.
Another fantastic delicious recipe, thanks chef! Happy birthday for tomorrow and the best of luck with the launch of the website...
Thank you so much! I really do appreciate it. 🙏🙏🎉
Loved your updated version of Butter Chicken. Super delicious. I made it for my work lunches. I only marinated for 45 mins. Love your work! ❤
I Love his work too!
Looks fabulous. Can't wait to try this.
Please enjoy it when you get around to it 😊🤤
I made this last night Jack and it was absoultely delicious. Thankyou so much and thank heck that I have still have some left over!!
Truly of great style and substance! I cannot stress enough how your cooking makes my day a little better
So happy to hear that!
Dude, where’s the Khasoori Methi (fenugreek)? That’s THE butter chicken flavour (if it’s butter chicken, that is). Thanks for this recipe, especially the great additions to the rice! Sounds awesome.
Yes. Especially when you don’t have a tandoor oven, the khasoori methi adds a slightly smokey flavour. It’s the magic ingredient.
Yeah I do apologise I tried to get hold of it but really couldn’t get it anywhere for some reason, even the suppliers at my job couldn’t get it for me. It is the only missing ingredient apart from cashews which are optional. 🙏
@@ChefJackOvens You don’t need to apologise ffs 😄
Khasoori Methi is just dried fenugreek leaves (not seeds). Can get in Tesco. It’ll put your recipe from excellent to mind blowing.
@@Dreyno how much of the khasoori methi do you use?
@@Anael7621 It’s quite powerful. I put maybe a half a teaspoon into the marinade and maybe another half a teaspoon into the gravy.
The greatest cooking channel on CZcams.
I really do appreciate it! Thank you for the kind words 🙏🙏
Chef add Fenugreek...leaves roasted a bit then crushed...add butter around 100 gms, add few cashew paste, add Garam masala 2 minutes prior serving ...all other things stand great. Like your recepies but bit improvisation...and if you want the best...add few coriander stems around 20 GM's and honey 10 GM's...🇮🇳
I really tried to get fenugreek leaves but couldn’t get them anywhere, I do apologise!
@@ChefJackOvens Dear chef nothing to apologise for. You really did a good fantastic job..food is food and eyes felt it good. At times you can crush the Fenugreek whole seeds to powder form and add but before that a bit roasting is required. Thanks for replying. Keep cooking.. 👍🏻🇮🇳 regards.
🙏🙏🙏
Gonna make this today and will add fenugreek and a touch of honey. Nice one
I cannot wait to try this. 😋😋 Quite a few steps but all worth it. Poor neighbours of mine 😄😄 will be dribbling with envy. Local take-away curries are not as good as homemade. Quality chicken is important too. Thank you for the video. I’ll ditch my original plan and will make this on Sunday. 👌😌🌟
Haha they sure will! Hope you enjoy it, it tastes so good 😊
Another beautiful looking recipe. Can’t wait to give it a try!
Please enjoy it 😊
I was just thinking about butter chicken the other day, and here you are with an improved version. 😏 only the fenugreek leaves chopped thinly is what missing. Else it’s 🔥🔥
Sounds like perfect timing! I do apologise for the missing fenugreek leaves, I tried my best to get hold of them but for some reason couldn’t get them anywhere.
That’s tomorrow’s supper sorted 👌
Thanks Jack! 🙏
Perfect! Hope you enjoyed it 😊
Late to this, but 100% going to make this at the weekend. thanks.
Made this. 10/10 from the fam.
That’s so good to hear! Glad you all enjoyed it 😊
Great! Another one to make!!!!!
Please enjoy
@@ChefJackOvens Thanks and I definitely Will!!!
I'm spreading the word, you are top notch!!
Well done Chef Jack. Will definitely be making this! 😀
Thank you! Please enjoy 😊
First butter chicken recipe I've found that I'm actually willing to give a shot. Thanks for making it accessible!
It’s a pleasure, please enjoy
@@ChefJackOvens the very picky wife absolutely loved it thanks! Any chance of a chicken korma recipe in the pipeline somewhere?
Holy Cow I’m loving this recipe thanks Chef my husband is going to love this curry. Thanks Jack excellentness lol.
It’s a pleasure! Hope you enjoy it 😊
Made this yesterday. Added in some fenugreek like others said. Tasted fantastic. Cheers.
Glad you liked it
excellent really delicious will try cook
Please enjoy 😊
Interesting choice of cooking oil - canola oil. I use canola oil daily. I think it’s heavily underrated. I think the flavour is neutral & not as powerful as olive oil. It is also a near perfect match for all sorts of cuisines. I would definitely love to see a video in the future on different types of cooking oils & its uses 👍 cheers 🍻
Yeah it’s a complete neutral flavour making it a good choice for a lot of recipes.
This looks great. Will d see definitely make it. Thanks Jack
Cheers, Eric! Hope you enjoy it mate
Got to agree re methi and it's in the supermarkets.
For me, a little less water in the rice, 1 1/2 cups and the rice will cook and be less sticky. Leave it to steam for 10 minutes 👍
As a lover of curries.....love it! Keep them rolling. We appreciate you as well. No one wants rubbery thighs. I did try your previous version and excited to try this one. A request for Red pepper hummus please. Not sure if you did the falafel yet....i did see it as a request in previous posts.
Definitely will do! Thank you. I’ll be making falafel early next year, sorry for the wait. I’ll definitely a red pepper hummus too, maybe I can serve them together 😊🤤
One tip always use hung yogurt it binds well with chicken and use bone chicken its better and give more flavor of its bone. I didnt see fenugreek powder so please do add in future love your recipe. Keep rising and shining brother
I have been watching so many recipe videos for years and you are the only person that I have subscribed. Great content, everything is clear and easy to understand. Thank you chef!
Thank you so much 🙂
Love this one. It's now one of my go-to recipes.
Great recipe. 👍

Nice one Chef. Serves one hungry Irish man...
Haha sounds perfect! 🤤🤤
this looks delicious
Thank you 🙏
This recipe looks delicious 😋😍
Thank you 🙏
Sick recipe but that would cost like 1 week worth of food ( ~$20 or ~$12 w/o chicken if not more ). Maybe I should buy less beer and make this instead :D
idk what country/state you're living or what store you go in. But this is like a 5€ recipe for me
@@marcelgraf5520 I just checked the pricing of everything online so based on grams everything except chicken breasts turns out to cost around 7€ ( chicken breasts usually around 4.5€ per kilo ), ofc buying it all would be like double the price because you can't buy lets say exactly 2g of chilli powder and you gotta get the pack of 20-40g etc unless you go to some specialized spice store.
Usually I get everything from LIDL. Anyway for the price imo it's totally worth it, maybe not for a daily meal.
Good recipe and presentation, Chef❤
Thank you very much 😊
@@ChefJackOvens my pleasure, Chef❤
Hi Jack. Can you make a video to show cooking in Pressure Cooker. This cooking is great 👍
Thank you! I’ll do some pressure cooking in the future. I personally don’t own one
That looks savage 👏🏽
It’s so good 😊
There's no garam masala in the description for the marinade!
I miss fenugreek and cashews. Flawour and texture isn't the same without them :(
True ! Fenugreek just takes the dish into another dimension altogether
I really did try to get the fenugreek leaves but couldn’t get them anywhere. I do apologise! As for cashews, there’s no excuse on my behalf, I just don’t add them but that’s my opinion so you’re more than welcome to add them in 😊😊
Yum as always Jack 😛👍
Happy to hear 😊
Love the way you are being coached on your own recipe lol. Cheeky people. Delicious butter chicken, my favourite. Thanks Jack.
Haha it’s all good! Thank you 🙏
You're awesome i made almost everything you make
That’s so great to hear! Glad you enjoy it all 😊
Hi Jack, quick question, my son doesn't like onions at all (unless he's too drunk to realise, lol). But I was wondering, once I've blended it all, do you think he would taste the onions? Because he is pretty good at knowing most times & I really want to make this for a family dinner one night. Anybody, I love your recipes, & I almost got out of bed to make your crunchy roast potatoes at 1:30am lol but I decided to stay in bed punishing myself with hangry pains lol. Oh & of cors I hit li,e on everyone of them & I've subscribed 🙃🙂
Hey! You can’t taste the onion as an individual ingredient and I’d be very impressed if your son could identify it in the final product of this recipe. If it is a concern, only use a little bit or just leave it out all together. It’s fantastic to hear you’re enjoying the recipes. Thank you so much for subscribing and supporting the channel. It means a lot
Mmm, yummy 🤤 curry 🍛
You can’t go wrong 🤤
se me hizo agua la boca *~*
You forgot to put the garam masalla in the ingredients list for the marinade
Thanks for the heads up 🙏
@@ChefJackOvens no worries, just done the marinade now and will make the rest when I get home from work later. you've never let me down before so I can't wait.
I found a solution - I can pay someone to watch your video and make the meals for me
Haha that would be good
I'm indian and just started cooking at 30 haha
It’s never too late to start anything 😊
Cool. You could also discover SrI Lankan curries. They got 1000 delicious variations
I’ve got a couple of Sri Lankan curries on the channel
How great to make this 😁. It’s a treat. Make it and recommend it to your friends/family. I’m lucky to be able to source local (well we say this where I live 😌😁) chicken, good cream and butter. So yes imagine, it was divine. Yet would still be ok with supermarket ingredients. Added red Chili powder to the sauce as in Jack the Chef recipe, no more no less and it was medium hot not too hot. 👌 Served with rice (flavoured as in Jack‘s recipe 😋). Also served with locally grown kale - washed and chopped - on the side cooked for 3mns max in a stainless steel pan with a few drops of water as the washed leaves retain water, lid on and straight off after 2 to 3 mns depending on the amount. Really big thanks to Jack the chef for making an easy to follow recipe that is actually perfect and impressive. 👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Jack, great recipe but I have a question.
In the beginning of the video you said you need 6 boneless chicken thighs (2.2lb) but you ended up only using 3 (possibly 4 @ 4:58). Doesn't that change the amount of servings if the original recipe serves 4?
The recipe cooks them in batches to avoid steaming them. He only showed 3 there but adds the full 6 to the sauce later
@@arcaneire yeah I figured he was searing them separately, but I only saw 4 in the pot so I was so curious whether I just couldn't see the other two. Thanks!
Thanks, Miles! I only showed me searing the initial 3 then off camera seared the remaining 3. As for when I added them into the sauce, I did the same thing. The recipe had all 6 thighs in there 😊😊
Awesome, thanks for responding Jack. Really enjoying your content, hope to try more of your recipes in the future 👍
@@mileshackett4781 😄
Hi there, Jack. I hope this new site of yours will include COOK BOOKS. (Currie s- vol 1 - ?), Desserts (vol 1 - ?), Sauces (vol 1 - ?)
Yes, I know there is always the vid. Thing is, my bloody stupid tablet will show the video but, not 'show more' where the ingredients list is kept! How can I get my misen plas (I aslo watch French Cooking Acadamy) (not as much as I watch Chef Jack Owens, though).
Oh and, make them available in the UK, as well.
ps I may not be around for a few days so, Happy Birthday, and good luck for Launch Day.
Hey. Just watched a vid from 23 April 2020: Buttermilk chicken. Yeah, gonna need a another book for these types of dishes. Start typing. (Btw, no link for making buttermilk).
yo man can you use regular butter instead of clarified?
You can but it will burn, clarified butter and or ghee has its milk solids removed which is the part that burns 😊
Good morning jack can you use chicken breast for this butter chicken m8 keep up the good work 👍
Good morning! You can but you’ll have to cook it a lot less as chicken breast drys out very quickly 👍
I tried this recipe last night night. I wish it was a little bit sweeter for my taste. Can you recommend anything to add to make it a little sweeter?! Sugar? Honey?
Add a little extra sugar tasting until you reach your preference
Cheers dude. Looking forward to trying a lot more of your recipes.
Looks good, but I’m not into a base sauce that’s been whizzed up to look like curried bake beans sauce!! Sorry.. I would leave the base sauce rough and rustic, defo NO Sugar, probably bin the cream. I’ll try that modified version
That’s completely fine, like I said in the video you don’t have to blend it. I actually agree that the rustic texture is nice. As for the sugar that’s optional but I’d definitely recommend cream, even if it’s not as much as I added. It creates a really smooth texture 😊
Can i replace granulated sugar with cocnut sugar?
You can if you prefer it
@ChefJackOvens thanks Jack. I am cooking this today so much appreciated.
Does it matter if my Garam Massala expired in 2015?
Haha yeah I’d say get a new one
I just followed your old recipe 2 weeks ago lol... remake
Haha. This ones even better 😊
Where are the cashew nuts ? 🤔
On every butter chicken I ate in India you have cashew nuts than give you this orange color after mixed it. The cream arrive only at the end normally 🤔
Allergies In my house so can’t use them. There’s a note in the description
*@Jack, I would love to be your neighbor/neighbour 😋.* 🇺🇸🗽
😊😊😊
Hmmm, where is the butter? ☺
Ghee/clarified butter. It’s one of the first things that we add 😊
macros?
Butter chicken without butter...
Literally the first thing that goes into the pot.. ghee is clarified butter
@@ChefJackOvens I know what ghee is and use it too when frying the chicken, but it needs butter (makhan) in the end around the same time when you add the heavy cream imho. That is what actually makes it butter chicken, hence the name.
Btw, I'm enjoying your videos, have favorited lots of them to try in the near future, so I'm not hating, but I'm a butter chicken addict and have tried 10 different recipes and this vid just popped up in my recommended videos so I dived in immediately and was a bit surprised by this ommission. (Lack of fenegreek is understandable). Would recommend people to serve it with naan and a good Raita as a side btw.
Thanks for bringing out your content!
Dude I like your recipes but you speak outrageously fast. They are impossible to follow if you are actually cooking.
Im always changing the speed to experiment. The full recipe of this is on my website - www.chefjackovens.com
