EASY BUTTER CHICKEN RECIPE | MURGH MAKHANI WITH A TWIST

[@marciewollesen]

Thanks for making this without artificial ingredients. Could I substitute fried tofu or paneer in place of the chicken? Your videos are exceptionally well done.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Sure my friend you can use tofu or paneer in place of chicken. I also have a tofu butter masala recipe in my channel. I have also given a link to that recipe in the description box of this video, so please check that out. Thanks for watching.

[@tessie7e777]

I’m off to my local Indian market to pick up some of the spices not in my cupboard. I’ve been drooling over your videos for weeks now and today is the day! So grateful for you sharing your recipes.

It would be nice to see a new video on this dish! Especially with bone-in chicken and whole spice. I love the more difficult and not so fast curries, the ones that take effort and time to make! I would love to know a little bit more about what region each dish comes from, that would be interesting!

[@lindahutchcroft6696]

Thank you for tasty curries. What would I alter in recipe with 1 to 1 1/2 kilos of chicken. Love from Linda in Cape Town.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Double up everything except chilli powder, spice powders and kasoori methi. I would use 1 teaspoon of garam masala powder instead of half.

[@lindahutchcroft6696]

Even the garlic as there is 15 for 500grms?

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Thanks for trying my recipes. Glad you like them.

[@John-so4fq]

This is making me feel hungry.

[@fredgarv79]

I think this is my favorite curry. But I like it hot so I added some super hot red pepper ground in addition to the kashmiri red pepper. and just now looking at your chicken korma recipie, I think I will do the onions at the beginning of this butter chicken, just cause I love onions in just about everything. making it tonight, we'll see if I added too much red pepper, but I have a pretty high tolerance. this one was quick and easy because I saved the leftover chili oil that I had made the last time I made this, and using the jarred garlic/ginger paste makes it easy also. I grew up watching the british tv series Red Dwarf where the main character, Lister, all he ever eats is chicken vindaloo, the hottest one he can get where you mouth is on fire and your eyes water type hot.. he always pronounced it vin da loooo. you pronounced it vin dalu. they even had an episode where animals and people got shot by a special ray gun and turned into something else, morphed into something else, so somehow something I forgot what, got turned into a vindaloo monster and they were trying to figure out a way to kill it, so he comes up with, "what is the only thing that will kill a vidaloo? A cold lager beer! so he shoots a few cans of beer into the monster and kills it.

I made the recipe tonight, I could not find dried fenugreek leaves, but they did have fenugreek powder so I used that. It turned out very well, although I did mess up the final step. When you said it is now time to add chilli oil I paused the video and added the oil. I then started the video again only to hear you to say add a few teaspoons of oil. I had added all of it. 😂 still tasted great. Thanks.

[@fredgarv79]

I dont see this recipe on your home page as on your list of chicken recipes, but I find it if I do a general search on you tube.I made it for the second time just now and followed your exact recipe. one thing to make it a bit easier is I use a jarred fresh mix of garlic ginger paste. this recipe is outstanding. first time i made it I over browned the chicken. this time I followed your exact recipe and it came out just fantastic. only thing I changed was I added some more chili powder.I didn't have cardamon powder so I smashed some cardamom seeds. it really adds some amazing additional flavor to it. in addition to the kashmiri powder I added some more hot Indian powder to as they say "kick it up a notch". It is really quite a lot of work but so much worth it. I think the addition of the chili oil at the end, wow, just fantastic. totally makes the difference. Just so flavorful. I took out two frozen packets of both your vindaloo and your butter chicken that I had made before and ate them side by side and although I always loved chicken vindaloo, I think I truly love your butter chicken more with just a bit more of hot spice in it. Had it with some tandori garlic naan with more butter on it and it was heaven.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Wonder why it’s not showing up on your home page. Is it not even showing up on the playlist for chicken recipes? Like the way how you describe in detail about your approach to the recipe. Seems like you like a lot of chilli heat 😀! So glad you liked the recipe and enjoyed having it. Thanks for sending your lovely feedback .

[@fredgarv79]

@@CurriesWithBumbi yah it's not on your playlist for chicken. I could have used even more heat. you can make it too hot, but I like it very close to that level. I just could not get over how many different flavors it has. it's one of those meals that you gave that are just rare, when you finish it, you just sit back and go wow, that was amazing! I used chicken thighs but added a few chunks of breast. like 80/20 mix. I think the first time I used too big of chunks of meat instead of smaller bite size pieces. we have a store called Imran's market that is Mexican/arab/african/indian/pakistani. down the street there is a huge Asian market with tons and tons of foods from all over asia. they sell things like live in the tank river eels and about 750 different kinds of pot stickers/spring rolls, stuffed seaweed rolls. every kind of shellfish imaginable, on and on.

Is there a need to boil tomatoes n onions n cashew! Put these in blender would it not give the same result. Great recipe.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Boiling cashews bring in a smooth texture after blending. Onions get really very harsh and sometimes bitter if blended raw and it takes a lot of time to get rid of that pungency. Boiling everything and blending brings in a smooth texture and they get cooked easily.

Hi Bumbi, I absolutely adore your channel and have made several recipes from it. I am vegetarian and Butter chicken was my favourite curry when I ate meat. Love the look of your recipe and would love to make it veggie but I don't like tofu. Is there a vegetable that you could suggest that I might try. I was thinking aubergine, butternut squash or cauliflower What do you think?

You can use cauliflower or baby potatoes. Can even use raw jackfruit. Paneer also tastes great

Looks good. Will try soon. Just to bad that what you written in the description is not the same as you say in the video. Had to rewrite half of it, so I have if for later.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

There must be some kind of misunderstanding here. I again watched this video but didn’t find any mistake in the ingredient proportions in the description box. When I write 1/2 I mean half hope that didn’t cause the confusion. Which ones did you need to rewrite ?

[@sevayth]

@@CurriesWithBumbi Measurements are not wrong, but... You wrote to blend garlic into a paste, but should have written cashews. Later it sais "add the spice, tomato puree" The puree is not listed, and from the video the spices are salt and tumeric. The other spices are added 20 minutes later in the video together with the chicken. It may sound like I am complaining but I just wanted a text version when I try to make it and found som differences when going through the recipe. I must say I do look forward to trying this.

Can I do it with bone-in chicken pieces?

[@nickverpoorten3373]

Hey Bumbi i really like your cooking. I have a question, when i bake my chicken there is always alot of water/fat in my pan. I dont see this when you bake it. My gravy becomes too watery because of this. Any advice?

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

By baking do you mean in oven?

[@nickverpoorten3373]

​@@CurriesWithBumbi no i fry them in a pan like you did in the video

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

@nickverpoorten3373 try using a large wide pan. If your pan is smaller than the proportion of chicken taken then it will take a long time to dry the meat. Fry the chicken on a fairly high heat

[@nickverpoorten3373]

Ok thanks. Yes that may be the problem. I doubled the recepy and there might have been too much chicken for my pan. Will try with only the base recepy next time.

[@shastriseeraj7425]

An the cashew nuts be substituted?

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

You can use toasted pumpkin seeds/ white poppy seeds or just leave it out

[@OleyMole]

Oven Cooking - Would that be better than frying, if so, can ou advise on Method, also when you refer to Oil - Which Oil are you referring to - Olive, Vegetable etc.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

You can definitely roast the chicken in the oven. I would do a 375 F for about 30 minutes as it will get more cooked in the gravy. Do brush some oil in between.

[@OleyMole]

Thanks so much - oil as in Olive, Vegetable, what kind of Oil Exactly

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

I use olive oil (not extra virgin)

[@badrulhussain5545]

[@TheBeanEnthusiast]

I want to make this but Im lactose interolant. Do you guys know any lactose free heavy creams? Is half and half the same things as heavy cream?

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Half and half also has lactose in it. You can use any plant based cream like coconut cream. Or you can soak cashew nuts in hot water for a few hours and make a thick paste by pureeing in your blender. It will taste delicious. You can also use any plant based yogurt ( plain and unflavored)

[@starburstsolaris6805]

So much chilli powder..wont it be too spicy?

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

For us it’s okay but you can always adjust the proportion according to your preference.

[@fredgarv79]

I'm very lucky that in my city of Everett, WA we have not one but two markets with all these spices in all kinds of forms. whole seeds, powders, even in bulk. This one market I go to has a strange mix of mexican and Indian items plus their fresh vegetables are much cheaper than in supermarkets. I saw fresh turmeric root there. do you ever use fresh turmeric instead of the powder? I have never had it. The other market is called Punjabi market. I wish they made some frozen samosas that just had lamb and carrots and peas instead of all the potato's. I make my own but it is sooo much work. But, I am eating one of your curries once a week or so, each time it comes out different. This time I am making this I am using fresh garlic and ginger instead of the paste in a jar. thinking fresher, better.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

You are really very very lucky to have these stores in your city. Fresh turmeric is not used that commonly in Indian cuisine but you can definitely use it in your curries. It gives a beautiful flavor but use less. Coming to the jarred ginger garlic paste, they have all disappointed me every time I used them. They do not smell like ginger garlic but something different that makes my curries smell and taste different. I may be fussy but I don’t use them. You never know what they are adding in it. I have this small microplane(lemon zester) that I always use to quickly grate ginger and garlic if I am in a rush. What you can also do is buy a bag of those peeled garlic. Take equal proportion of fresh ginger and garlic ( slightly less ginger than garlic) make a smooth puree using only that much of water required to move the blades of your blender. Put them in portions in ziplock bags and freeze them. Or you can also measure them out in ice cube trays. Nothing like using fresh ginger and garlic. Glad you like my recipes and thanks for your feedback 🙏🏾

[@fredgarv79]

@@CurriesWithBumbi The brand I was buying was Shan brand in a jar. Your right they all do have a weird smell to them even though it says it's made from fresh. It does have preservatives in it. If I need small amounts you can buy these frozen little cubes of ginger garlic and basil and they do taste exactly as fresh. My bullit blender just did not want to turn all that garlic I put into it into a paste. there were still some fairly l large chunks no matter what I did. I tried adding some water and that helped a little. didn't really matter though. Mine I made tonight I didnt put enough cream in it so it was a bit harsh since I added a good tablespoon or more of the super hot chili powder in addition to all the kashmiri powder so it definitely set my mouth on fire a bit. So, I just added more cream and let it sit for a few days then reheat it I'm sure it will be much better.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

@@fredgarv79 you always have to be bit cautious when adding chilli powder. As I always say, add less to start with. You can always add later (even at the end) but cannot take out that heat once added.

I messed up making the chillie oil .. I had the hot oil and melted butter in the frying pan, then whilst still hot I added the kashmiri powder whilst still on heat. What happened next was the oil/powder mixture turned brown /black very quickly.. i.e. I burned the powder. I reviewed your video afterwards and see you poured the hot oil mixture on top of the powder.. Anyway lesson learned.

Oh no !! Sorry about that. Always add chilli powder to hot oil with your pan off heat. Do not let the oil get smoking hot.
