I made this recipe last night for dinner. Pleeaaaase let me know if you try this out, especially if youвЂ™ve never cooked Indian food before! I want someone to commiserate with: WHY DID WE NOT TRY THIS BEFORE!?!? Enjoy! Print

Also, donвЂ™t burn your tongue trying the sauce very three seconds (I may or may not be speaking from experience). Do whateva! Once the chicken is browned, youвЂ™ll throw together the sauce, let it simmer away for a while, add the chicken and then try not to drool in the pan too much. IвЂ™ve written the recipe as if youвЂ™ll do the same, but in reality you could start the sauce and brown the chicken at the same time - if you want to dirty two pans and speed up cooking time. Seeing as I have only one skillet over here, I browned my chicken before starting the recipe. ItвЂ™s probably a sin of the highest kind, and you definitely donвЂ™t want to go down that road! Next: brown your chicken. You shouldnвЂ™t even consider eating this recipe without naan. ItвЂ™s honesty really easy, and you probably have most of the ingredients already.ДЇirst off: make your naan! Oooh yes make some naanВ (edit: this link is a non-yeasted naan recipe, IвЂ™ve since added a yeasted naan thatвЂ™s even better!). WeвЂ™re all about accessible recipes here, right? RIGHT! Get to making this. Mine, doesnвЂ™t take quite as long, doesnвЂ™t have any crazy ingredients, and pretty much tastes like ABSOLUTE MAGIC. Hers probably takes way longer, has some ingredients IвЂ™ve never dreamed of, and tastes like absolute MAGIC. Let me just put out this huge disclaimer and say: I am aware that this recipe is probably not anything like your Indian grandmotherвЂ™s authentic butter chicken recipe. Some say there are deeper differences than that (starting with, and not limited to, the inclusion of butter/ghee in butter chicken), but others call them virtually the same thing. Have I confused you yet? One thing I have found, is that information everywhere is a bit different. According to Epicurious, chicken tikka masala was born when restaurants saw butter chickenвЂ™s popularity, and started cooking boneless chicken specifically for the tikka masala.

Butter chicken originated from using leftover dry tandoori chicken and giving it moisture with a creamy spiced tomato sauce - plus some butter, and we have butter chicken. And, in all honestly, this recipe may be more in line with chicken tikka masala for the simple reason that this chicken does not have bones.

IвЂ™m gushing through and through because when I made this last week, Derek and I pretty much ate the entire pan in one sitting because we were so wrapped up in the sauce! And then we were waaaay too full because this is definitely not a 2-person recipe.ДЄccording to the tiny bit of research I did, butter chicken and chicken tikka masala are NOT the same thing. Get on board! Remember on Tuesday when I said I never thought making Indian food at home was possible? WellвЂ¦ it is.

Literally, it has CHANGED MY LIFE! I know I sound dramatic. You guys, I am not joking one tiny bit - not even exaggerating - when I say this recipe is a total game-changer. If you want a lighter version of this recipe - made in a slow cooker - check out my recipe for Healthy Slow Cooker Indian Butter Chicken! IвЂ™m open to respectful conversation about the best way forward, but will not tolerate any racist comments. IвЂ™ve decided, for now, to leave it up and donate the proceeds generated from pageviews on this recipe to Snehalaya вЂ“ an organization supporting Indian women, children and LGBT communities, who have been affected by HIV and AIDS, trafficking, sexual violence, and poverty. IвЂ™m not sure what the right course of action is, and previous apologies here have resulted in incredible backlash - so much so that IвЂ™ve often considered taking this post down altogether.

2021 Edit: IвЂ™ve struggled with how to handle the fact that this recipe is the highest earner on my site, and a recipe from a culture that isnвЂ™t mine.
