    Hi Urooj!! I'm still learning cooking and I was looking online for butter chicken recipe and I came across yours. Your recipe looks quite easy. After I read the others recipe..it looks quite interesting. Could you please tell me how to make the tandoori masala or will I get it in the store?

    Hello............. Thanks. One day we went to party last year there we had butter chicken my hub liked it a lot from that day only he was telling me to prepare it at home but I dont have that receipe. But when I logged on to khana khazana found the receipe and tried it y'day my hub just told me it was much more better than party one.

    Avoid Onions and add little kassori methi to make this dish even better. Onions are never used in traditional butter chicken recipe. Roast chicken and dont fry.
