::: Butter Chicken :::

"Many versions of the recipe exist for the recipe, typically dressed chicken (with or without bones) is marinated overnight in a yogurt and spice mixture usually includinggaram masala, ginger, garlic paste, lemon or lime, pepper, coriander, cumin, turmericand chili. 

The chicken is traditionally cooked in a tandoor, but can also be grilled, roasted or pan fried. The sauce, is made by heating and mixing butter, tomato puree,Khoa and various spices, often including cumin, cloves, cinnamon, coriander, pepper,fenugreek and fresh cream. Cashew paste can also be added, and will make the gravy thicker. Of all the spices added to the dish it is dried fenugreek leaves (Urdu/Hindi: Qasuri Methi) that makes the greatest contribution to the characteristic flavour of the dish. 

Once the sauce is prepared, the prepared chicken is chopped and cooked until the gravy and chicken have blended. The dish may be garnished with white butter, fresh cream, sliced green chillies and Qasuri Methi. Butter chicken is usually served with naan, roti, parathas, roomali roti or steamed rice." Source : Wikipedia
