It's probably a sin of the highest kind, and you definitely don't want to go down that road! Next: brown your chicken.

You shouldn't even consider eating this recipe without naan. It's honesty really easy, and you probably have most of the ingredients already.įirst off: make your naan! Oooh yes make some naan (edit: this link is a non-yeasted naan recipe, I've since added a yeasted naan that's even better!). We're all about accessible recipes here, right? RIGHT! Get to making this. Mine, doesn't take quite as long, doesn't have any crazy ingredients, and pretty much tastes like ABSOLUTE MAGIC. Hers probably takes way longer, has some ingredients I've never dreamed of, and tastes like absolute MAGIC. Let me just put out this huge disclaimer and say: I am aware that this recipe is probably not anything like your Indian grandmother's authentic butter chicken recipe. Some say there are deeper differences than that (starting with, and not limited to, the inclusion of butter/ghee in butter chicken), but others call them virtually the same thing. Have I confused you yet? One thing I have found, is that information everywhere is a bit different. According to Epicurious, chicken tikka masala was born when restaurants saw butter chicken's popularity, and started cooking boneless chicken specifically for the tikka masala.

Butter chicken originated from using leftover dry tandoori chicken and giving it moisture with a creamy spiced tomato sauce - plus some butter, and we have butter chicken. And, in all honestly, this recipe may be more in line with chicken tikka masala for the simple reason that this chicken does not have bones.

I'm gushing through and through because when I made this last week, Derek and I pretty much ate the entire pan in one sitting because we were so wrapped up in the sauce! And then we were waaaay too full because this is definitely not a 2-person recipe.Īccording to the tiny bit of research I did, butter chicken and chicken tikka masala are NOT the same thing. Get on board! Remember on Tuesday when I said I never thought making Indian food at home was possible? Well. Literally, it has CHANGED MY LIFE! I know I sound dramatic. You guys, I am not joking one tiny bit - not even exaggerating - when I say this recipe is a total game-changer. If you want a lighter version of this recipe - made in a slow cooker - check out my recipe for Healthy Slow Cooker Indian Butter Chicken! I'm open to respectful conversation about the best way forward, but will not tolerate any racist comments. I've decided, for now, to leave it up and donate the proceeds generated from pageviews on this recipe to Snehalaya - an organization supporting Indian women, children and LGBT communities, who have been affected by HIV and AIDS, trafficking, sexual violence, and poverty. I'm not sure what the right course of action is, and previous apologies here have resulted in incredible backlash - so much so that I've often considered taking this post down altogether.

2021 Edit: I've struggled with how to handle the fact that this recipe is the highest earner on my site, and a recipe from a culture that isn't mine.
