Butter Chicken
Notes
Take Fresh chicken.
Do not reduce the marination time.
Fry the chicken on high heat to lock the juices, it will help your chicken to remain tender.
Do not make paste of tomatoes with skin as it will make the gravy grainy.
Do not reduce the quantity of cream & butter, you will loose the desi buttery aroma and flavor of authentic butter chicken.
