Butter Chicken
This classic restaurant-style Butter Chicken features tender, marinated chicken pieces cooked to golden perfection, then simmered in a rich, creamy, and mildly spiced tomato-cashew gravy. It is a highly popular and aromatic Indian dish that pairs beautifully with hot naan, roti, or pulao. Chef's tips: (1) Using Kashmiri red chili powder is crucial for getting that signature, natural bright red color without using artificial food coloring. (2) For an ultra-smooth, velvet-like restaurant-style gravy, you can pass the ground masala paste through a fine sieve before simmering it in butter.
