Chicken

Butter Chicken Masala

This is a classic Indian dish and one of my favorites.I love cooking this dish as it has some inherent flavor and even if you miss any ingredient it never turns out wrong.It will always taste good ,your guests will be impressed and will ask you the recipe of the same.There are many ways in which this dish can be cooked but this will give you the best of the taste and you will want to make it again and again.I wanted to make a video of this dish but because I shot it with my tablet, the video came of very poor quality.I hope to make a better video next time with some help.The video is included  in my blog ,you can take a look if you want.The gravy has a creamy texture and the chicken pieces have a smoky flavor which melt in your mouth.
