This butter chicken is the most delicious dish that I've prepared for my guests. My guests refused to stop complimenting the dish. My complements to the chef.

This is wonderful, I have always known this dish as chicken tikka masala and loved it but all the recipies I found called for at least a 24 hour prep. This recipe was easy and fool proof - trust me I mess up lots of things that claim to be fool proof. I made this for company and it turned out prefect. Not to hot not to mild. My only suggestion is to list in under indian food too.
Wonderful.

I have had butter chicken several times at authentic indian restaurants, sometimes it tastes like tomato soup or something, and other times its sweet and spicy. I LOVE this recipe. I made it once and fell in love with it, as did my husband, and as we speak I have the chicken marinating to make more! I am obssessed, its amazing. I am going to recommend it to my friends and family! Try this!

Great recipe! Easy & delicious, even my two picky kids ate it! I served it over egg noodles. Next time, will add a bit of paprika & maybe some red pepper, as this is not as spicy as one would think! Would work with shrimp, too.
