  • Okay, curry can be expensive both at a restaurant and when homemade. In order to make this happen, we have to simplify the recipe, maximize the flavor and make this dish for the very cheapest price physically possible...without losing flavor at all.

    **Fun facts and things about butter chicken coming from an Indian.**
    First thing's first, that looks really amazing! As an Indian I gotta admit it really is the quick, cheap and easy way to make it. Extra things I would like to add after watching my mom make it for years: For butter chicken the chicken used is a whole different dish in itself called Tandoori Chicken (but the way he shallow fried battered chicken is smart too). Strain the tomato puree after cooking properly to get that silky texture of "Makkhan" (butter). Butter chicken is not really based on butter. It was Brits that translated Murg Makhani to butter chicken. While Murg means chicken and Makhani means butterly the meaning behind butterly is not butter itself but rather a silky texture which really means Makhani. So essentially if you were to name it in American way it would be baked chicken with silky curry. And the most important thing my mum always said is if you heat Garam masala too much it gives off distorted bitter taste and ruins the dish so always add it in the end.
    Happy cooking y'all!!!

    I'm about to hook y'all up. NEVER buy spices in the big chain grocery stores. Always buy them from grocery store targeted at minorities, i.e. Asian grocery stores, Indian grocery stores, Latino grocery stores, etc. They're usually sold in bags for cheap and hold a lot more spice than those tiny bottles from Walmart or Kroger

    Made this dish and really loved it! I cooked this twice, adding these changes on the second run through: 1. Did a bit more of a caramelizing of the onions by cooking them on a low heat in a butter/oil mixture for about 20 minutes. Also added some sugar to it. I then upped the heat and added the finely chopped garlic and ginger, cooking those for about a minute. 2. Toasted the spices separately. When added directly to the veggies I found they stuck to them and I wasn't really able to get an even toasting. 3. Followed the advice of some others here and left the garam masala out of the toasting, added it to the paste afterwards. 4. Substituted water for chicken broth I had on hand. I thought it was already really good, but these changes (especially cooking the onions for longer to get a sweet flavor and adding the garam masala afterwards) really made the sweet flavors a lot stronger. I think this is definitely going to become a go-to for me. Thanks Joshua!!

    Apart from omitting the ginger, this is pretty similar to how I do mine, although I clarify a stick of butter and use that instead of oil to shallow fry the chicken, and then use the fond from the chicken and butter fry to directly start my curry base.
    Still tastes absolutely amazing, and the clarified butter keeps the Garam Masala from scorching (which makes it taste bitter).

    For a change, a western chef did not completely come up with a random concoction and can it butter chicken. This is reasonably close to what a real butter chicken should be. There’s a distinct taste to butter chicken that comes from cardamom powder. I’d sub the cardamom powder in favor of garam masala. And please, don’t add that much turmeric. 1/4 teaspoon is good enough. Add a bit of honey to round off the curry. And ideally you want to grill your chicken instead of pan fry

    Ever since I’ve watched this I’ve been eating a variation like 2 or 3 times a week. I normally don’t add any chicken and just simmer in some chickpeas and spinach maybe some sweet potato and I eat it with a slice of toasted pita or naan. It’s probably the most low effort- high reward meal I know.

      But Ayurveda doesn’t recommend more than a pinch of turmeric in every meal and a pinch of garam masala. They are very warming & must be used in moderation. I was surprised at tablespoons of both being used in this recipe.. Indian spices aren’t just for flavour they are used according to their medicinal properties too. But if you’re doing fine, hey you do you.

Poured the sauce into my food processor and it's now permanently stained yellow from the turmeric. Don't care. It was delish and I wanted that smooooooth restaurant texture and lack a hand blender. The yogurt marinade is key. Not optional. Please marinade your chicken people. It makes the chicken springy yet moist and I'll be doing this for every chicken I ever cook in the future, be it curry or bbq kebabs or whatever. It's clutch. Do it! Thanks again, peace out.
