This was quite tasty. I used chicken thigh meat and it was very tender.

Yum. That's all I have to say. If you like new foods, but are hesitant... butter chicken will bring you do the dark side! It's delicious, and addictive. :)

This is a very delicious and savory dish. The recipe was nearly perfect, but i would also suggest using onion puree rather than chopped onions. Simply because it is easier and because the presentation of the dish looks a lot better. The dish tastes just as great without the nuts or coriander! Thats how tasty it it. Those are my suggestions. but of coarse that is all up to an individuals likings. Again thanks for such a delicious and hastle free recipe!
