    I cooked this variation of Butter Chicken yesterday for my Canadian friends and they all went gaga over how superbly it tasted. Although I did little changes in it's method of cooking in order to have a leaner version of it, I still think, the contributor of this recipe is the rightful owner of all the praises my friends showered on me. A big 'thank you' from my side.
