I made this today and it was GREAT! The step about blending the sauce and pushing it through a sieve is a real game changer for me. I added a little cumin, a sliced chili, and some extra garam masala to mine, it was a little bland without them (probably just my brand of masala I had in the kitchen). I also tossed in a sliced green pepper towards the end so we could have some veggies in there too. I will definitely make this again, thanks so much!
I am Nigerian,this is one of my best India meal ,I am now dancing in my kitchen,I finally made it thanks a lot you made this so simple to learn and it came out just as I loved it.
I’m right about to make this, went to my local Indian grocery to pick up the chili powders and fenugreek leaves. I am SO EXCITED!! I’ll update once I make it. Update: IT WAS THE BEST IVE EVER HAD!! I’ve had butter chicken at many Indian restaurants and this by FAR was the best!! I served it with garlic naan and basmati rice :)

This dish was absolutely great ! I didn't add too much chillie powder and used fresh garlic instead of paste. I added extra cream,butter,salt and pepper to our personal measure and also added a little of the chunky bits at the end to give it extra flavour wow this lovely we were so full. 100% make this again... soooo happy thank you for posting...
Outstanding recipe. I used my own garam masala mix, chicken stock instead of water, coconut cream instead of dairy cream and added a few finely sliced red chillies at the end. Intense, thanks.
Coconut cream is quite intense and adds a South Indian / SouthEast Asian flavor. I'm sure it'll be tasty, but not a Punjabi butter chicken. Perhaps try a dairy-free cream alternative instead?
@@rg1283 Might try straight milk in the next one although I could try blending milk to a cream...........I'll give it a go and check the difference. This recipe is very good though and delightfully smooth and creamy.
@@ShwetaGupta-hd6yk I always use a stock (chicken, prawn or lamb) instead of water as it intensifies the flavour. Difficult to get dairy cream where I live in Thailand. The predominant flavour is butter and chicken so I respectfully disagree ;-)
This recipe is PHENOMENAL!! My wife and I are AVID Indian cuisine fans, and this butter chicken recipe gives high-end Indian restaurants a run for their money of this dish. This is our go-to cheat meal and it's worth every calorie. I found that I needed a lot more than just 3 tbsp of cream to achieve the "creaminess" represented in the video - we also double (or more) the chicken breast to fill the curry sauce up more! I highly recommend finding a good basmati rice, it pairs very nicely. Thank you for keeping your directions simple and easy to follow. I'm never losing this recipe! Thank you again!
Just made this for the first time, and it turned out AWESOME! I used my Vitamix to purée the sauce, and there was no need to strain it afterward. It was buttery smooth. Also, due to circumstances beyond my control, the chicken ended up marinating for around 48 hours instead of 15 minutes, but that didn't hurt it one bit. Thanks Varun! Amazing recipe!
I made this recipe yesterday and absolutely fell in LOVE!! This was my first time attempting butter chicken and this recipe was bang on! I will without a doubt save this and use it as my to go recipe. Thank you so much 😊
This comment is for anyone that needs a little bit of help with this recipe. I made it last night and it was effing delicious. Here are the adjustments I made and the reasons along with American measurement conversions here and there: -I used 1lb leg meat, cut into cubes instead of strips. I would say i did 1" cubes. -1 lb of tomatoes (i used roma, but either way you're fine) -garlic paste = I just threw some garlic cloves into a blender and minced it with literally a drizzle of olive oil and a small pinch of salt. I felt like that might've been a waste of time....just do minced garlic and you're fine -ginger paste = i got one of those tubes of ginger paste from the grocery store -50 grams of cashews...i didnt know what to do here, so i literally weighed it out exctly on a small kitchen scale. I had halved cashews, so i would say it was 2 handfuls of cashews. -kasoori methi...i didnt have the fresh kind, i only had the powdered version from the indian store. I just did 1 tsp of it. -kashmiri chili.....i know it's milder but it seemed like an aggressive amount (Im indian btw, so im no stranger to heat). I ended up using regular red hot chili powder and I did 1/4TBS for the chicken and and 1/4 TBS for the gravy. It had a good enough kick to where I could NOT serve it to my toddlers. Also, whenever it called for the chili powder in the recipe I simply used paprika instead. -100 grams of Onions...again, I weighed this out because I had no idea how much it is in grams. I would say I chopped 1/2 a large red onion. -sugar...based on another comment recommendation i saw on here, I also cut this amount into HALF (so 2 tbs)....this was absolutely the right call. Anymore and it would've been TOO sweet/sugary. Even the 2 tbs was borderline too much...but it's fine, just roll with it. -water....he doesnt list how much water to put in....i put in just under 1/2 cup of water. -butter = i used just under 6 tbs of it....call it 5.5. DO IT...go over the 5 tbs. -cream = i used heavy whipping cream -malt vinegar = it's weird how he lists it out in the description. Is it 2 tbs malt vinegar or 1.5 white vinegar (you choose one or the other)...or do you put in both?? i put it in both and it was fine. Also, i used apple cider vinegar instead of malt. -i used coconut oil when it called for oil -to make it truly one pot, I added baby spinach (roughly chopped). I folded it in at the end with about 3 minutes left to go when simmering. I hope these notes helps some people out....it really was delicious...best i ever had.
apacholikewhoa Give me youyour number and address, so I can let you know when I'm dropping in for your butter chicken, my mouth and eyes are watering from the pleasure of reading your instructions. Peace!
Great comment! And CASHEWS! I never thought to do this for creaminess but it's all so simple now. Also, I have never put vinegar in mine but....but I will try it!
I cooked it yesterday and it tastes - fantastic! I had made a small modification: Instead of cashew nuts, I used almonds. I always have them in stock, because I like to cook Spanish and Turkish and almonds are often used. I had never eaten "Butter Chicken" before and it immediately rose to the list of favorite foods.
Delicious! Made a few personal adjustments the second time around. I added plain yogurt to the marinade. Also added fresh red chilis while cooking, cause I like it spicy, and shallots instead of red onion. I used unsalted chicken stock instead of water, coconut milk instead of cream, and a dash of turmeric powder. Turned out Perfect!
Curious to know for how long did you marinate it and did you keep it in the fridge? I know the chef says 15 minutes but curious to know as I use curd as well for marinating chicken as well but haven't tried this recipe yet.
I made this a few weeks ago for me and my boyfriend and it’s easily our favorite dinner of all time. Seriously, this recipe is perfect! Definitely adjustable if you don’t like spicy food, but I would advise following the recipe exactly the first time you make it. My boyfriend doesn’t usually like spicy but he LOVES this dish! We now make big batches so we have plenty of leftovers throughout the week. It’s that good!
Tried it and it was amazing. I added less sugar. Also after using the hand blender for a bit i put the mixture in the big blender and turned it into a paste. Didnt have to pass it through a sieve it was fine enough for me.
Oh god, indian food is the worlds best food. I eat so much of it, that i started trying to make my own with spices, but i really cant hit that one point where every taste is prominent. I'm getting there slowly People making the classic indian food is gifted
lasse skarpengland one thing I can suggest is getting your spices from a south Asian (Indian) supermarket... it makes all the difference!!! Good luck...trust your instincts and practice, you'll make it better than the restaurants 👌🏽
I made this butter chicken for my family yesterday and it was really delicious, just that I made same changes in the amount needed for the ingredients. Also, make sure to heat it for a longer while and ensure that the gravy is thickened before you decide to turn off the stove. The butter chicken tasted amazing. Thanks for this amazing recipe. Will definitely make it again if I were to have all the ingredients.
I tried this dish once. Now i go every week to that indian restaurant to eat it. It is amazing the taste. I do not eat it spicy hot. I like tasting the flavors without burning my mouth.
Excellent recipe! I've made this a few times now. I've played around with proportions of some of the ingredients but my favourite iteration is pretty close to the original recipe. I just add a bit more garam masala. What I like to do is make 4x the recipe but just the sauce/gravy and then I portion out and freeze the rest. It freezes really well. Then when I thaw out a batch, I marinade the chicken and cook it fresh instead of freezing the chicken with the sauce. It's a great way to have a restaurant quality meal that comes together as quickly as it takes to cook the rice.
Great recipe! If anyone is sensitive to spice I recommend using half the chili that he calls for. Also, don't throw away the remnants of the gravy after you sift it through. Combine it with cream cheese to make a dip.
Have made this recipe 4-5 times, and have always received amazing complements on the result. Just came here to thank you for sharing this recipe! It's the easiest and the best one here.
@@chan_321 It really doesn't matter. you can use any type of cut. just make sure you cook it long enough, depending on the cut, as you'll know chicken cuts with bone takes longer to cook than chicken cuts without bone.
@@maddog3467 I usually avoid the sugar and vinegar. I think the onions bring the natural sweetness, and the vinegar might make it too tart, and ruin the cream.
I’ve made this twice since lockdown. It’s fantastic. A few things I did that may help someone: 1. for the chili powder I mixed paprika and cayenne (more or less on cayenne for heat ). 2. Only use 1 teaspoon of sugar, I read the comments before and went in assuming 3 tablespoons was a typo- it is.3. I’ve used both heavy cream one time and table cream the second, they both came out fine and there was no difference. Delicious both times. And last, the first time I used regular butter. It was ok. The second time I made some homemade ghee (just butter slow cooked, clarified and browned) and it really made the whole thing taste perfect. Using ghee at the end was what it needed. Don’t buy it- just make. It’s super easy. Hope this helps someone. Enjoy!
Hey, thanks for the tips ! Mine turned more brown than the regular orangy color all butter chicken have, I didn't have cashew or mixer, and eyeballed the spices. Do you have an idea why it didn't turn orange ? :( Taste was still good but not quite what I am used to in butter chicken either... I feel like I tasted the garam masala much more but I don't know...
@@roxey1217 maybe because you were missing the chilli powder. A lot of the other comments say that the chilli powder is very mild but like paprika gives more of a red pigment that flavour.
Roxey it’s pretty important that you purée the mixture. That’s how you get it smooth. It’s brownish before the purée and then more orange after. The cashews really help add creaminess without adding a TON of cream and allow the flavors to be more pronounced. Cream mellows the flavors. I don’t thing cashews are necessary- a lot of recipes don’t call for them. I think yours was more brown due to not putting it in a mixer and lack of cashews. ( that as your watching get blended, lighten the color of the sauce as they break down) Or it could have been the spices used and tomatoes used. Colors are not always consistent. My paprika is bright red so that helps.
Incredible! My whole family loved it! I even did the gravy on its own first so I could do a veggie version with potato for my sister and it was a total crowd pleaser! Thanks!
🤔 if u want to eat veg virsion of it. Then don't use potato u can use paneer. It's way more delicious. Paneer is the best but I don't know if you'll get some there.
@@LiveLifeAshley here In India In some places Butter Paneer is more famous than butter chicken . Butter paneer for vegetarians and butter chicken is for non vegetarians .
This recipe is one of those rare ones that is both tasty and easy. We even used the left over from strained masala to make cauliflower curry the next day and it turned out yummy. Thanks chef!

I have been following this recipe since Covid times, even after moving to USA, I have been cooking this for 2 years, all of my family and friends love it so much! Hands down to one of the best and easiest recipes ever!
Does thos recipe have any spiciness to it? There's a restaurant that makes it spicy and I love it I'm scared anything I try will be sweet tasting like any of the pre-made sauces I've gotten from the store.
Excellent recipe. Came out first time just as good as the local restaurant that my friends have been drooling over for years. The unexpected key ingredients seem to be the vinegar and methi. So distinctive. Thanks!
A lot of recipes/sauces have that one thing that just makes it. In a lot of asian cooking when it's just delicious and you can't figure out why, what you thought was soy sauce was a soy sauce, sugar, ricewine vinegar mix. People always underestimate adding sweet and tart at the same time.
I am from Uzbekistan and my family LOVES this recipe! I tried it so many times and it always come with absolutely amazing taste! Thanks you very much for this delicious piece of knowledge!

I made this yesterday for my family for iftar and it was an absolute hit! Everyone went for seconds and all asked for the recipe! I reduced the chilli but other than that it was perfect! Alhamdulilah Thank you, this recipe is a life long keeper 😍
We used this recipe for our Xmas eve dinner. The results were simply divine. What a wonderful recipe. The only difference I found was that when using the Kashmiri chilli powder in the portion sizes mentioned here, the dish was actually very hot and had to be cooled down a bit. Could be that the powder we purchased was hotter than normal Kashmiri Chilli powder. Either way keep up the good work. Many thanks for a wonderful recipe.

I keep coming back to this recipe over and over again. I think i finally memorized it and can do it next time without having to rewatch the video. It’s my family’s favorite dish! Absolutely amazing
for all non indians india has different chillies and every chilli is different...this man is using kashmiri chilli powder hence he need more powder and this chilli is best when you need red colour. add 4 teaspoon of sugar instead of 4 tablespoon...kasuri methi means dried fenugreek leaves powder. In Indian cuisine peanut/coconut/sunflower oil or clarified butter is best because of its high smoking point.
@@Dbdgdw19 its enough for 3 people because total quantity is around 950 gram and every person needs around 300 grams each. But again it depends on how many dishes you are serving in main course.
@@Dbdgdw19 I made this yesterday and had three fairly large portions, serve it with a little more chicken, rice, vegetables and naan bread, and you're good.
This is the best recipe for butter chicken. Never thought I would be able to prepare restaurant style butter chicken which I love. Thank you Mr Varun for this amazing recipe!!
Im pilipina that work here in bahrain . And i have indian co-worker and i cook this to them omg i get a good compliment they said its so good comes out perfectly. Thanks for sharing this video . God bless you
I made this today for dinner and, seriously, it was even better than what I would eat at my favorite Indian Restaurant. It wasn't very difficult to make and I used spicy paprika instead of the chili powder that he mentions. For me, it worked just as well 😋
Using help from a prior comment and 'near' gram conversions, I'm posting the recipe in an easy to follow format with directions. This is slightly modified with user assistance. (Thanks apacholikewhoa!) Came out great. :) For chicken preparation: 300gr (11 ounces) boneless chicken breast 1/2 teaspoonful ginger paste 1/2 teaspoonful garlic paste 1/2 teaspoonful kashmiri chilli powder 1/8th teaspoonful salt 2 tablespoons oil (coconut, for pan-fry) For sauce: 500gr (1pound, 2 ounces) quartered tomatoes (roma) 100gr (3.5 ounces) roughly chopped onion 1 tablespoon garlic paste 50gr (2 ounces) cashews 1 tsp kasoori methi 1/2 tsp garam masala 3 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons kashmiri chilli powder 5 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons heavy cream 1.5 tablespoons malt vinegar 1.5 tablespoons white vinegar 1/4th teaspoonful salt 1 tablespoon oil (coconut) 3/4th cup water To make: 1) Combine all marinade (chicken prep) ingredients into a small bowl with the exception of the oil. Mix to combine. 2) Cut chicken into bite-sized strips/cubes depending on your preference. Toss with spice mixture until evenly coated. Set aside for 15 minutes to marinate. 3) After 15 minutes, heat a deep, large pan over medium-high, add your oil, and once hot: panfry the chicken until just done and transfer to another bowl to rest. 4) In that same pan, add additional tablespoon of oil, 2 tablespoons of butter, and onions. Cook onion until translucent, and then add tomatoes and cashews. Mix thoroughly. 5) Add water, garlic paste, salt, malt and white vinegar, garam masala, and chili powder. Evenly mix and simmer for 15-20 minutes. 6) Transfer mixture to sturdy, heartproof bowl. Puree with handblender. 7) Strain mixture back into large pan using a seive. Discard remaining pulp. 8) Add remaining butter, cream, kasoori meethi, and cooked chicken. Let simmer for 5-7 minutes. 9) Transfer into serving bowls and garnish with cream and kasoori meethi. Enjoy!
Just tried during this quarantine. turned out so great even without cashews and kasoori methi. Also my tomatoes were sour enough and vinegar wasn't needed. Used less sugar and less chili powder since i dont have the kashmiri chili one.
Cashews can be substituted with peanuts as well and instead of sugar some people opt to add ketchup and kashmiri chill adds color to food you can use food colour instead
I just made this. OMG!! thank you so much for sharing! Was the best recipe, I made naan too and was able to do it with my 4 year old. Such a fun recipe to do together and then enjoy as a family. Thank you!
I made this and it turned out so delicious, I didn’t have cashew, vinegar or garlic/garlic paste so I didn’t add any of those but it still taste like butter chicken, so delicious will make this again!❤️

Guys. I have tried this recipe & it turned out well. I was having 0 confidence in me but i thought lets try this once & believe me its so freaking delicious❤💜.
The bast part is that in this same gravy if you put cottage cheese (paneer) ... It turns out to be incredible... Seems exactly like shahi paneer... Awesome.

Just a heads up everyone it's 𝟒 𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐎𝐍𝐒 of sugar NOT 4 Tablespoons. They made a typo!! Even 4 teaspoons was a little sweet for me haa, I think 2 teaspoons is the perfect amount if you don't like it on the sweet side. Start with less and add more for your taste 🙂

Try some simple Indian food as well, not the one you find in restaurants, but the simple healthy( can eat while dieting ) and equally tasty. The food the Indians eat everyday at their homes, it's a lot lighter

@TheEditor107 ikr, what's wrong with some potatos with a lil bit of olive oil straight from the field? smh, people want all these 'complex' flavours, no one appreciates the simple bland stuff anymore!!! amirite brother????????????????
Just made this, my advice would be 2 table spoons of sugar I found it to sweet and sickly with 4. Other than that it was absolutely beautiful, well done Get Curried!
Anyone else here because of corona virus lockdown and indian food places are closed? Just made this and it was absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much for the recipe
@@tracyk9174 just go with the flow. If the gravy is too watery, add bit of creme and cook it few mins more, if its too hard, add a bit of water and cook it few mins more. If you want more garlic, put more garlic. If you dont like nuts, swap it with i dunno, paprika. You dont need to mix it if you dont like it or dont have the mixer, you can add something you like, for example a bit of parmesan and basil leaves. You can marinate the chicken differently. I like to use mustard and honey for marination. Dont overcook chicken though, the meat will still cook while its cooling down. I love to put a slice of a butter on it at that point. There are so many variations of making food, i look at recipes like guidelines, but the road is mine to chose
Hi sir awesome butter chicken recipe and a very good explanation I prepared this dish for my hubby he was like wow same restaurant style A lot of appreciation for me that belongs to you sir Thank you 🙏

Outstanding recipe. I used my own garam masala mix, chicken stock instead of water, coconut cream instead of dairy cream and added a few finely sliced red chillies at the end. Intense, thanks.
Coconut cream is quite intense and adds a South Indian / SouthEast Asian flavor. I'm sure it'll be tasty, but not a Punjabi butter chicken. Perhaps try a dairy-free cream alternative instead?
@@rg1283 Might try straight milk in the next one although I could try blending milk to a cream...........I'll give it a go and check the difference. This recipe is very good though and delightfully smooth and creamy.

@@ShwetaGupta-hd6yk
I always use a stock (chicken, prawn or lamb) instead of water as it intensifies the flavour. Difficult to get dairy cream where I live in Thailand. The predominant flavour is butter and chicken so I respectfully disagree ;-)
This recipe is PHENOMENAL!! My wife and I are AVID Indian cuisine fans, and this butter chicken recipe gives high-end Indian restaurants a run for their money of this dish. This is our go-to cheat meal and it's worth every calorie. I found that I needed a lot more than just 3 tbsp of cream to achieve the "creaminess" represented in the video - we also double (or more) the chicken breast to fill the curry sauce up more! I highly recommend finding a good basmati rice, it pairs very nicely. Thank you for keeping your directions simple and easy to follow. I'm never losing this recipe! Thank you again!
what kind of cream is it? Sour Cream?
Just made this for the first time, and it turned out AWESOME! I used my Vitamix to purée the sauce, and there was no need to strain it afterward. It was buttery smooth. Also, due to circumstances beyond my control, the chicken ended up marinating for around 48 hours instead of 15 minutes, but that didn't hurt it one bit. Thanks Varun! Amazing recipe!
Hahahaaha, I assume you forgot it after an errand of some sort
It's supposed to be that the more you marinate it the better, the better it is for the dish
He is a clever Chef and has his touch ❤
I made this recipe yesterday and absolutely fell in LOVE!! This was my first time attempting butter chicken and this recipe was bang on! I will without a doubt save this and use it as my to go recipe. Thank you so much 😊
This comment is for anyone that needs a little bit of help with this recipe. I made it last night and it was effing delicious. Here are the adjustments I made and the reasons along with American measurement conversions here and there:
-I used 1lb leg meat, cut into cubes instead of strips. I would say i did 1" cubes.
-1 lb of tomatoes (i used roma, but either way you're fine)
-garlic paste = I just threw some garlic cloves into a blender and minced it with literally a drizzle of olive oil and a small pinch of salt. I felt like that might've been a waste of time....just do minced garlic and you're fine
-ginger paste = i got one of those tubes of ginger paste from the grocery store
-50 grams of cashews...i didnt know what to do here, so i literally weighed it out exctly on a small kitchen scale. I had halved cashews, so i would say it was 2 handfuls of cashews.
-kasoori methi...i didnt have the fresh kind, i only had the powdered version from the indian store. I just did 1 tsp of it.
-kashmiri chili.....i know it's milder but it seemed like an aggressive amount (Im indian btw, so im no stranger to heat). I ended up using regular red hot chili powder and I did 1/4TBS for the chicken and and 1/4 TBS for the gravy. It had a good enough kick to where I could NOT serve it to my toddlers. Also, whenever it called for the chili powder in the recipe I simply used paprika instead.
-100 grams of Onions...again, I weighed this out because I had no idea how much it is in grams. I would say I chopped 1/2 a large red onion.
-sugar...based on another comment recommendation i saw on here, I also cut this amount into HALF (so 2 tbs)....this was absolutely the right call. Anymore and it would've been TOO sweet/sugary. Even the 2 tbs was borderline too much...but it's fine, just roll with it.
-water....he doesnt list how much water to put in....i put in just under 1/2 cup of water.
-butter = i used just under 6 tbs of it....call it 5.5. DO IT...go over the 5 tbs.
-cream = i used heavy whipping cream
-malt vinegar = it's weird how he lists it out in the description. Is it 2 tbs malt vinegar or 1.5 white vinegar (you choose one or the other)...or do you put in both?? i put it in both and it was fine. Also, i used apple cider vinegar instead of malt.
-i used coconut oil when it called for oil
-to make it truly one pot, I added baby spinach (roughly chopped). I folded it in at the end with about 3 minutes left to go when simmering.
I hope these notes helps some people out....it really was delicious...best i ever had.
apacholikewhoa Give me youyour number and address, so I can let you know when I'm dropping in for your butter chicken, my mouth and eyes are watering from the pleasure of reading your instructions. Peace!
if you're ever in Los Angeles, you're more than welcome to have some!!
Great comment! And CASHEWS! I never thought to do this for creaminess but it's all so simple now. Also, I have never put vinegar in mine but....but I will try it!

I cooked it yesterday and it tastes - fantastic! I had made a small modification: Instead of cashew nuts, I used almonds. I always have them in stock, because I like to cook Spanish and Turkish and almonds are often used. I had never eaten "Butter Chicken" before and it immediately rose to the list of favorite foods.
Can I substitute
Kasuri methi with something else ? Can I not use it? 😢
@@Arputatatattata Fennel seeds should be a good substitute.
@@hansdampf4055 oh thanks!
Tried it out today. Shocked everyone at home…..in a delicious way
What cream you supposed use...like sour cream?? Heavy milk cream??
@@nychalant4021 heavy milk cream
@@nychalant4021 just get any readily available fresh cream from a store.
My husband hates Indian food and curries, but I got him to try butter chicken and he loves it
Delicious! Made a few personal adjustments the second time around. I added plain yogurt to the marinade. Also added fresh red chilis while cooking, cause I like it spicy, and shallots instead of red onion. I used unsalted chicken stock instead of water, coconut milk instead of cream, and a dash of turmeric powder. Turned out Perfect!
Curious to know for how long did you marinate it and did you keep it in the fridge? I know the chef says 15 minutes but curious to know as I use curd as well for marinating chicken as well but haven't tried this recipe yet.
I can tell it was delicious ❤
@@shamindersaini the longer you marinate it, the better it'll turn out!
@@devanshuroy6061 i agree to that. Marination is the secret of every chicken dish.
That's not butter chicken though. Sounds good. But not butter chicken.
I made this a few weeks ago for me and my boyfriend and it’s easily our favorite dinner of all time. Seriously, this recipe is perfect! Definitely adjustable if you don’t like spicy food, but I would advise following the recipe exactly the first time you make it. My boyfriend doesn’t usually like spicy but he LOVES this dish! We now make big batches so we have plenty of leftovers throughout the week. It’s that good!
Cute
@@manisoha1uh nkkp
I m jealous of your bf😑
You can make the sauce and store it.
SAME my bf loves it and we just cuddle up eating it
Tried it and it was amazing. I added less sugar. Also after using the hand blender for a bit i put the mixture in the big blender and turned it into a paste. Didnt have to pass it through a sieve it was fine enough for me.
Oh god, indian food is the worlds best food. I eat so much of it, that i started trying to make my own with spices, but i really cant hit that one point where every taste is prominent. I'm getting there slowly
People making the classic indian food is gifted
lasse skarpengland one thing I can suggest is getting your spices from a south Asian (Indian) supermarket... it makes all the difference!!! Good luck...trust your instincts and practice, you'll make it better than the restaurants 👌🏽
lasse skarpengland thankyou soo much for liking our food..😊

lasse skarpengland dun give up!! keep trying man
awesome recipe...It's very easy and turned out extremely tasty.. my husband loved it
I made this butter chicken for my family yesterday and it was really delicious, just that I made same changes in the amount needed for the ingredients. Also, make sure to heat it for a longer while and ensure that the gravy is thickened before you decide to turn off the stove. The butter chicken tasted amazing. Thanks for this amazing recipe. Will definitely make it again if I were to have all the ingredients.
Just wondering, how long did it take for the sauce to thicken?
[Ahem…] 🗣️ *How long did it take for the sauce to thicken?*
I just repeat and repeat again cook this butter chicken its really yummie. Thanks so much for your recipe bro. God bless you
What cream did you use?
Same question here. What kind of cream was used?
@@francesoscelbarayuga7157 I use regular cream cheese to make it healthy. It taste so good. I’m adding green chive cream cheese to mine
@@francesoscelbarayuga7157 fresh cream is recommended
@@francesoscelbarayuga7157 i live in australia just use cream from woolies.
I tried this dish once. Now i go every week to that indian restaurant to eat it. It is amazing the taste. I do not eat it spicy hot. I like tasting the flavors without burning my mouth.
Excellent recipe! I've made this a few times now. I've played around with proportions of some of the ingredients but my favourite iteration is pretty close to the original recipe. I just add a bit more garam masala. What I like to do is make 4x the recipe but just the sauce/gravy and then I portion out and freeze the rest. It freezes really well. Then when I thaw out a batch, I marinade the chicken and cook it fresh instead of freezing the chicken with the sauce. It's a great way to have a restaurant quality meal that comes together as quickly as it takes to cook the rice.
Great recipe! If anyone is sensitive to spice I recommend using half the chili that he calls for.
Also, don't throw away the remnants of the gravy after you sift it through. Combine it with cream cheese to make a dip.
It's Kashmiri pepper, lots of color and not spicy like cayenne pepper.
@@talibanParade Believe me, even kashmiri pepper is too spicy for some people 😉
@@yggdrasil4986 😂😂😂😂😂
What a great idea… it’s where all the flavour is
My Punjabi husband has me double it 😅
Have made this recipe 4-5 times, and have always received amazing complements on the result. Just came here to thank you for sharing this recipe! It's the easiest and the best one here.
Hi, did you use the same sized chicken strips? Or did you use bigger chunks??
Same unknown frd
@@chan_321 It really doesn't matter. you can use any type of cut. just make sure you cook it long enough, depending on the cut, as you'll know chicken cuts with bone takes longer to cook than chicken cuts without bone.
@@PankajRamnaniInternational did u add the 4 tbl spoons of sugar amd the malt vinegar
@@maddog3467 I usually avoid the sugar and vinegar. I think the onions bring the natural sweetness, and the vinegar might make it too tart, and ruin the cream.
Bless you for teaching all of us how to make this food ❤️ This has become a very popular dish in my house.
I’ve made this twice since lockdown. It’s fantastic. A few things I did that may help someone: 1. for the chili powder I mixed paprika and cayenne (more or less on cayenne for heat ). 2. Only use 1 teaspoon of sugar, I read the comments before and went in assuming 3 tablespoons was a typo- it is.3. I’ve used both heavy cream one time and table cream the second, they both came out fine and there was no difference. Delicious both times. And last, the first time I used regular butter. It was ok. The second time I made some homemade ghee (just butter slow cooked, clarified and browned) and it really made the whole thing taste perfect. Using ghee at the end was what it needed.
Don’t buy it- just make. It’s super easy.
Hope this helps someone. Enjoy!
Hey, thanks for the tips ! Mine turned more brown than the regular orangy color all butter chicken have, I didn't have cashew or mixer, and eyeballed the spices. Do you have an idea why it didn't turn orange ? :( Taste was still good but not quite what I am used to in butter chicken either... I feel like I tasted the garam masala much more but I don't know...
Roxey prob bc you’re missing cashew
@@roxey1217 maybe because you were missing the chilli powder. A lot of the other comments say that the chilli powder is very mild but like paprika gives more of a red pigment that flavour.
Is this spicy???
Roxey it’s pretty important that you purée the mixture. That’s how you get it smooth. It’s brownish before the purée and then more orange after. The cashews really help add creaminess without adding a TON of cream and allow the flavors to be more pronounced. Cream mellows the flavors. I don’t thing cashews are necessary- a lot of recipes don’t call for them.
I think yours was more brown due to not putting it in a mixer and lack of cashews. ( that as your watching get blended, lighten the color of the sauce as they break down) Or it could have been the spices used and tomatoes used. Colors are not always consistent. My paprika is bright red so that helps.
Hands down best recipe i’ve found on RUclips. I’m never paying for butter chicken again 😁
Incredible! My whole family loved it! I even did the gravy on its own first so I could do a veggie version with potato for my sister and it was a total crowd pleaser! Thanks!
🤔 if u want to eat veg virsion of it. Then don't use potato u can use paneer. It's way more delicious.
Paneer is the best but I don't know if you'll get some there.
@@Shubham_Bahirat Thanks for the tip!

Does thos recipe have any spiciness to it? There's a restaurant that makes it spicy and I love it I'm scared anything I try will be sweet tasting like any of the pre-made sauces I've gotten from the store.
Excellent recipe. Came out first time just as good as the local restaurant that my friends have been drooling over for years. The unexpected key ingredients seem to be the vinegar and methi. So distinctive. Thanks!
Jo Ridges methi does the the trick but just the perfect amount.
what is methi?

Wow its nice to know you r intrested about B chicken!
A lot of recipes/sauces have that one thing that just makes it. In a lot of asian cooking when it's just delicious and you can't figure out why, what you thought was soy sauce was a soy sauce, sugar, ricewine vinegar mix. People always underestimate adding sweet and tart at the same time.

We used this recipe for our Xmas eve dinner. The results were simply divine. What a wonderful recipe. The only difference I found was that when using the Kashmiri chilli powder in the portion sizes mentioned here, the dish was actually very hot and had to be cooled down a bit. Could be that the powder we purchased was hotter than normal Kashmiri Chilli powder. Either way keep up the good work. Many thanks for a wonderful recipe.
Super
Butter chicken is normally on the milder end of the heat scale. He did put two or three heaped teaspoons in which will make it pretty warm.

for all non indians
india has different chillies and every chilli is different...this man is using kashmiri chilli powder hence he need more powder and this chilli is best when you need red colour. add 4 teaspoon of sugar instead of 4 tablespoon...kasuri methi means dried fenugreek leaves powder. In Indian cuisine peanut/coconut/sunflower oil or clarified butter is best because of its high smoking point.

Using help from a prior comment and 'near' gram conversions, I'm posting the recipe in an easy to follow format with directions. This is slightly modified with user assistance. (Thanks
apacholikewhoa!) Came out great. :)
For chicken preparation:
300gr (11 ounces) boneless chicken breast
1/2 teaspoonful ginger paste
1/2 teaspoonful garlic paste
1/2 teaspoonful kashmiri chilli powder
1/8th teaspoonful salt
2 tablespoons oil (coconut, for pan-fry)
For sauce:
500gr (1pound, 2 ounces) quartered tomatoes (roma)
100gr (3.5 ounces) roughly chopped onion
1 tablespoon garlic paste
50gr (2 ounces) cashews
1 tsp kasoori methi
1/2 tsp garam masala
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons kashmiri chilli powder
5 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1.5 tablespoons malt vinegar
1.5 tablespoons white vinegar
1/4th teaspoonful salt
1 tablespoon oil (coconut)
3/4th cup water
To make:
1) Combine all marinade (chicken prep) ingredients into a small bowl with the exception of the oil. Mix to combine.
2) Cut chicken into bite-sized strips/cubes depending on your preference. Toss with spice mixture until evenly coated. Set aside for 15 minutes to marinate.
3) After 15 minutes, heat a deep, large pan over medium-high, add your oil, and once hot: panfry the chicken until just done and transfer to another bowl to rest.
4) In that same pan, add additional tablespoon of oil, 2 tablespoons of butter, and onions. Cook onion until translucent, and then add tomatoes and cashews. Mix thoroughly.
5) Add water, garlic paste, salt, malt and white vinegar, garam masala, and chili powder. Evenly mix and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
6) Transfer mixture to sturdy, heartproof bowl. Puree with handblender.
7) Strain mixture back into large pan using a seive. Discard remaining pulp.
8) Add remaining butter, cream, kasoori meethi, and cooked chicken. Let simmer for 5-7 minutes.
9) Transfer into serving bowls and garnish with cream and kasoori meethi. Enjoy!

Thank You so much for this wonderful recipe. I followed the exact recipe and it turned out to be the best butter chicken I ever had 💙
Just tried during this quarantine. turned out so great even without cashews and kasoori methi. Also my tomatoes were sour enough and vinegar wasn't needed. Used less sugar and less chili powder since i dont have the kashmiri chili one.
Looks delicious, will try this. I’ll maybe use more chicken..
how much sugar did u use ?
Hyunju Song nice
I made this 3 times i think my fam is getting tired of me cooking lol
Cashews can be substituted with peanuts as well and instead of sugar some people opt to add ketchup and kashmiri chill adds color to food you can use food colour instead

Hey what type of cream did u used
@@bt9604 fresh milk cream
Ive made this so many times from this viedo its better than going to the a top quality resteraunt.... So simple to follow this videos steps
Restaurants use the cheapest ways to make dishes.
Yeah, but you get what im saying
I would rather spend £10 on ingredients and make this. Than get a take out or go into a resteraunt and spend £50+.
@@LethalLuigi7 £50+? Where da fk you going lol
By the way, I just made something like this tonight. Blended onions and veg with white yogurt in a blender, then poured into a pan and warmed it slowly and threw chicken in and bam... Tasty 👍🏻
Hey what kind of cream did u use? What percent?
Just a heads up everyone it's 𝟒 𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐎𝐍𝐒 of sugar NOT 4 Tablespoons. They made a typo!!
Even 4 teaspoons was a little sweet for me haa, I think 2 teaspoons is the perfect amount if you don't like it on the sweet side. Start with less and add more for your taste 🙂
If Only I had read this an hour ago....
@@MegaTarun91lol so sorry
Just made this and thought it was gnarly sugary! So this helps. I’ll try it again next time.
Thank you!! 🙏🙏🙏

I'm 15 and I made this for my family for dinner with naan. They loved it so much and I also got many compliments. Thank you so much for this recipe sir. Lots of love from Nepal ❤🇳🇵
I just tried this recipe and turned out well thank you chef for this amazing recipe
Indian food is epically delicious . Some of the deepest, complex and unique flavors. All I need is some Naan to dip in that sauce. Good work man.
Try some simple Indian food as well, not the one you find in restaurants, but the simple healthy( can eat while dieting ) and equally tasty. The food the Indians eat everyday at their homes, it's a lot lighter
Be carefull with the chilli powder. You easily add too much to your dish, and then you do not eat the butter chicken, but the butter chicken eats you
He used Kashmiri red chilli powder. It's very mild and is mostly used for the red colour.
Exactly once I added wrong chilly powder instead of Kashmiri chilly powder. It became spicy n kind of bitter and I dint like it.
Aaah! Thanks a lot! That explains everything! Hahaha! Thanks!
hahahahahahaha
😂😂😂
For the first time im commenting on food recipes.. Trust me.. This recipe is top notch.. I got the exact taste and texture.. My husband appreciated me.. Till he finish off the food i serve.. Thank you for the amazing recipe🤎
Hi Chef Varun! I tried your butter chicken recipe exactly as you showed and it was absolutely amazing. Exactly like we eat in a restaurant.
Actually, better than a lot of restaurants' butter chicken
I am a midwestern housewife that loves to cook and considers Indian cuisine to be the best in the world. I never thought I would be able to cook this food and make it taste so good. Thank you for this easy to follow recipe. It tasted just as good as the restaurant.
@TheEditor107 why do you sound bitter
@TheEditor107 haters be hatin
@TheEditor107 ikr, what's wrong with some potatos with a lil bit of olive oil straight from the field? smh, people want all these 'complex' flavours, no one appreciates the simple bland stuff anymore!!! amirite brother????????????????
@TheEditor107 cheap meat? Where do sausages come from genius?
@TheEditor107 The only sad thing here is that she seems proud of being a housewife. What a good for nothing human being, leeching on her husband.
Just made this, my advice would be 2 table spoons of sugar I found it to sweet and sickly with 4. Other than that it was absolutely beautiful, well done Get Curried!
It's been 8 years and I am still following it. Since 17 I am mastering this same thing as you showed
Do you use the exact recipe if you don’t mind me asking? I guess it’s down to taste but I’m new to these recipes?
Varun Sir have made this fantastic Magical gravy So many times.
Iam so use to this gravy yum yum yummy!!!!!
I made this because of lockdown, and it was awesome, thx
Haha mee to😅
Plz can u tell me what’s exactly the red souce !!? I didn’t get it 😭
Same.
What kind of cream is that?
Gonna make it now!!!
This is by far the best and easiest recipe I’ve used. The results were explosive!❤❤
A massive pot worth all gone.
Amazing recipe I made it with the ingredients I had available and it turned out very well. So delicious, Ty!!!
This is sooo good! Just made it! The only thing I didn’t have was the vinegar so I used applecider vinegar
Anyone else here because of corona virus lockdown and indian food places are closed? Just made this and it was absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much for the recipe
Hi so excited to try this I want to put more chicken should I add double of ingredients ?pls advise . Thank you.
stfu get over yourself "aM i ThE oNLy oNE?" youtube shitbird idiot
@@CSM100MK2 Not sure if alcohol is to blame during lock down but people are turning nasty on social media. Chill buddy Stay positive.
Do you salted or unsalted butter ?
@@tracyk9174 just go with the flow. If the gravy is too watery, add bit of creme and cook it few mins more, if its too hard, add a bit of water and cook it few mins more. If you want more garlic, put more garlic. If you dont like nuts, swap it with i dunno, paprika. You dont need to mix it if you dont like it or dont have the mixer, you can add something you like, for example a bit of parmesan and basil leaves. You can marinate the chicken differently. I like to use mustard and honey for marination. Dont overcook chicken though, the meat will still cook while its cooling down. I love to put a slice of a butter on it at that point. There are so many variations of making food, i look at recipes like guidelines, but the road is mine to chose
Made this today and it was so bomb especially the consistency of the sauce!! Thank you for this recipe!
Did u add 4tsp or 4tbsp of sugar?
@@priyankaroy3291 I actually didn't add sugar! Instead I added a can of coconut milk at the end which gave the sauce enough sweetness!
@@anjaliann4597 what was the quantity of the milk?
@@priyankaroy3291 1 can of coconut milk (13.5 fl oz)
