Butter chicken one of India's favorite dish. You xac butter chicken in almost all indian restaurant menus, it is one the bestest best dish of India I can say. We often try to experiment different dishes when we go to any retaurrest but again we say nothing can beat the taste of butter chicken. We often think we cannot make or it is impossible to make butter chicken at home, then you are absolutely wrong. Making butter chicken at home is easy but has mutliple steps, which you can't skip. If you skip then you will not the taste of restaurants.

There are around 4 steps in making perfect butter chicken recipe. The first step is the marination. If you don't marinate the chicken then the chicken will not become soft and would become rubber like. So marination is always important. The second step is grilling the marinated chicken. Usually in restaurants they gdill the chicken in traditional tandoor. So if you have a traditional tandoor or elelelec tandoor then you can grill not that. And if you don't have any of that, no worries you can still grill it on the grill pan, as did in the video.  The third step is the gravy, butter chicken gravy is not very thick or runny. You need to have the gravy in where in you chicken pieces are covered with layer of gravy and you should be able to see oil on top of your gravy.  And the fourth step is smokey flavor. It was Indian tradition to cook on fire using sticks or coal. Which used to give the dish a Smokey flavor.
