Butter Chicken

by: Rajiv Anand of California

A very popular dish in both North and south Indian cuisine. It's very rich and should be taken in moderate quantities by weight watchers.

HI Rajiv I just read your recepie of butter chicken and was confused about couple ingredents. Why do u need sour cream raw cream and yogurt? Why use red color instead use chilli powder. What is the difference between corn flour and corn starch? Please respond back. Thanks

this seems to be an mouthwatering dish but too many cloves and cardamoms will spoil the taste so reduce them i will deffinitely try it out with less spices

Hi Rajiv! Though i did not try ur receipe, it sounds great. I have some clarifications from all of those who have tried this receipe, specially sahil, ananya, jay and shernaz. Where did u get this sour cream, raw cream. Is it available in stores with this name or under some other name. And incase we get in bulk, can we store and use in other receipes, if so what and how? Thanks everyone

On a suggestion from an East Indian friend of mine, I surpised my in-laws with this dish at the cottage. It was fantastic!!

Wow!! It was simply great! My husband and myself really relished it. But I would like to clear my doubts. Why was the corn flour added,as it did not make any difference due to its negligible amount. Also instead of the water can we add chicken stalk? Thanks you!

Hi Rajiv, with all due respect to u the recipe of butter chicken is totally wrong. please u should refrain from giving all these recepies, because it misguides people who are really intrested in cooking. thanks buddy, Amol

good recipe but like to put casunut past insest of almand past

I understand the confusion about use of corn flour (same a corn starch) and sour cream in this recipe. These provide the thickness and richness without adding too much fat. This is my own version of a healthier butter chicken. The version you eat at restaurants is loaded with saturated fat. I have tried to keep the fat content lower while creatively trying out other thickening agents.
