    Hello rabz. I am an Indian living in England and butter chicken is a very desirable dish even by westerners here. I tried it out and it was a good job you have posted on here. Thankxxx.

    To be very honest I went through many butter chick recipes and they all seemed to have so much to do specially after reading your way. I tried it out My nieces were over for a visit and they just said it was lip smacking / finger licking butter chicken they have ever tried out. I just put 1 tsp sugar instead of 1 tbsp.It is truly a very easy way thank you very much.
