Rajan From London, UK says :

To The Chef, My hats off to this recipe, I have come across many in my searches however this has to be the best of the rest. It's simple to follow & tastes far better when you actually make it rather than a waiting on a waiter at a restuarent wondering if you ever get the dish. As is all dishes more satisfying to eat when one makes one. However your exuberance in illustrating your methods to all of us is the key to have acknowledge how to carry out the task set. To all other respondents who comented, this is how to fully make aware of how you appreciate a gesture.

I followed the video as closely as I could, and was missing some ingredients, but subbed what I could. It turned out FANTASTIC! And it was the first attempt at Butter Chicken. Thank you!

Tam says :

This looks really good, but I'm not sure I can make it since the recipe is different from the video. I need all the ingredients spelled out and their appropriate measurements because I have never made Indian food before. Please update the written instructions.

Rashmi Panwar says :

I just made Butter Chicken & Believe me.."YOUGURT"(2 Tsps) simply kills the taste making it too sour. I wonder why is yogurt mentioned in the 'ingredients' when it's nowhere mentioned in the video???

Posted on: 8 December 2009 - 3:55am

Anonymous says :

hey Rashmi....the yogurt is intended to be used in the marinade..once you fry the chicken, the yogurt loses its sourness.
