With prices still so high, feeding your family can be a challenge but not with this recipe! Happy Friday! 💕

[@navdhillon7912]

It won't break the bank to do it, I recommend folks visit an Indian meat shop. They usually have pre marinated chicken for butter chicken among many other options. I find their prices a lot better than grocery chains too. Especially lamb prices.

[@rebeccarhoten8591]

Although I know it’s not traditional, I make it with full fat coconut milk sometimes and it’s delicious ❤

[@midlifemom5829]

Here in Southern California Indian dinner for 4 (2 teen boys , mom/dad) is $85!!! That's 2 orders of butter chicken ( my family's fave) , 1 order of bangain bhartha , and 1 order of saag. Its just crazy expensive these days! Thank u for the recipe!

[@FloLum]

Of course when ordering Indian I want ALL the things too! But this will at least satisfy some of the craving.

[@majestic6303]

Freeze the sauce ahead and save time and money

[@jlr43100]

Thanks Flo. Dark meat in market is half the cost of white meat, and easier to cook.

[@thomasdsouza6664]

When frying the powder spices , have to add few tbsp of water or liquid so that the spices do not burn

[@ianainsley7174]

You know youtube algorithm's ebb and flow just like the great tides and i see Flo and husband 'dude' still giving us great professional content as ever... :)

[@lisabeierling1837]

I love to add a bag of frozen cauliflower to my butter chicken. It’s sooo good with the sauce.

[@c9sus4]

thanks for the tip

[@atrinka1]

yes! we love cauliflower!

[@RatdogDRB]

Mmmmm... LOVE me some Butter Chicken! Basmati Rice, and Naan. Generous amounts of Chai to wash it down with, life is good! God bless you both.

[@thenest4480]

❤Flo!! Ya got me craving the is and going to make it. Tip - add the spices before the tomato paste to toast them…boosts the flavor. 😊 🤤

[@lesliethiel1337]

Flo, if you are using an entire can of tomato paste, open both ends of the can with a standard can opener then push the past out with the cut lid. It is SO easy.

[@jennigee51]

I love butter chicken, I've had sauces from different places and it's my favourite, so I ordered it in an Indian restaurant, it was so very sweet! I complained, to be told that's how it's cooked, I told them that of all the butter chicken meals I've had, not one has been sweet! I can only assume that it's made with sugar in their region but, not anywhere else!

[@tarapearce544]

That's actually my favorite kind, with some sweetness. I have had so many different "butter chicken" sauces, some with saffron, some sweet, some more acidic, some that almost taste like tomato soup, some thick, some thin... When I make it at home in a rush, I use the VH sauce (best of the options in my area, which are few) and I add coconut milk or creamed coconut (not coconut cream) to make it creamier and a little sweeter. Flo's recipe seems very similar to the jar I use and probably a lot better, I will try it next time I make butter chicken!

[@zealiabella8553]

Hi Flo, I’ve been looking for an easy to follow recipe for butter chicken and you have delivered! I’m going to make this soon . All the best 💛

[@vanessaamos2278]

Thank you Flo, Indian cooking also intimidates me , that up until today, I cannot make curry out of head, it has to be recipe or spices already mixed 😂. But this butter chicken i will really make, thank you again for simplifying it for me. Greetings from New Zealand

[@building8media605]

I searched for a soft boiled egg on YT and a video of yours came from 8 years ago using an instapot. Crazy how fast time goes by, cool to see you’re still making videos.

[@jenny85]

I am also intimidated to cook Indian food, but this looks super simple to make! Thanks, Flo!

[@elizabethoileng435]

Yummy 😋😋😋, yes, it's that simple and save money 🤑by cooking at home. Thanks for sharing 🙏

[@myrna5540]

Hi all, I love butter chicken it is so good.

[@anups7958]

Indian food takes well to improvisation and cooking should be a joy or at least not a headache…so go ahead and make it your own. Food is meant to be cooked, shared and enjoyed…

[@zyniadesagun9815]

Hello Flo.. i really love your voice. You are beautiful.. thank you so much for sharing your recipe .god bless you and your family

[@user-wn1gk2kg1w]

Hello, i love experimenting with different ethnic foods! It is so much fun and SO delicious! I haven't mastered anything yet but getting there has been so yummy! Thank you Flo for sharing your version of butter chicken which is a definite favourite of mine! Have a wonderful weekend!

[@annc_singh3302]

Flo this was amazing and so easy!! I hope we can see more indian dishes that you learnt and did the Flo way! Thanks again!!!

[@ushadelesio7259]

Going to try it. Thank you.

[@lordbaron104]

What a fantastic idea using your mallet to break the garlic ! Also if you're going to cook more indian food in the future , consider making a ginger garlic paste at home. It's super easy , you just need the proportion of ginger and garlic that you like and blend it with a bit of oil of your choice. Stays in the fridge for a month or so 😊 just make sure that the amount of oil that you use covers the ginger garlic paste when it's settled in the storage jar. Lovely recipe! Love your channel.. 😊

[@cheaptshirt]

Awesome recipe, thank you!

[@gailroscoe7809]

Thank you so much for this! I can hardly wait to try it, my family will love it just as much as all the other dishes I have learned from you.

[@lindabyrne4596]

Looks amazing, will be making this. Thank you❤

[@sandrae6042]

Thanks for a super recipe, Flo ❤

[@rhondaroberts7275]

This looks amazing! I look forward to making your delicious recipe. 😋

[@malcontent510]

I haven't made butter chicken in over a year. Thanks for reminding me how easy and how good this dish can be at home (just need to get yogurt & cilantro).

[@amywendlandt6297]

That looks so delicious! Will definitely try 😀

[@lin1038]

Looks like a great recipe…will be trying this out for sure! Yummm 👋🇨🇦

[@theresac2944]

This looks delicious Flo ❤ can’t wait to make this . Thank you so much ❤

[@br0ken86]

Thanks for the recipe and dinner idea - I'm making this tonight!

[@debbycoley]

Looks scrumptious and easy to make. Thanks for another fantastic recipe! ❤

[@marchervais1269]

Looks nice but i think that there should be some cashew nuts or mix, dry grapes maybe dry pineapple chunks and for sure green cardamom seeds. Those seeds are a game changer providing you extract them from their gangue

[@cwchan7982]

Flo, I made it for dinner tonight and my family loved it❤ you are right, it‘s so easy to make it, thank you!!

[@user-zd2ow8fn1g]

Just made the butter chicken…wow! Great flavors and plenty for leftovers. Thanks so very much.

[@ronhart288]

Great job cooking, explaining, & sharing recipe! Be safe, stay healthy, & God Bless everyone!

[@brucemacdonald1847]

yes indeed!!

[@dianeproffitt837]

Will definitely be trying this, LOVE Butter Chicken!

[@dianapardo6379]

[@aileenbell2248]

Thank you for this recipe so easy to make.. 🥰🇦🇺

[@fkuimalizard]

Another amazing recipe! This a new favourite in our household!

[@walterstrahota2956]

I love butter chicken. I have used the jar sauce but this looks better and I have all the spices. I’ll make it soon.

[@jonesbub1]

You had me at a cup of whipping cream!! That sauce looked sooo luxurious, but the recipe seemed quite simple and straightforward. Great payoff for the effort! Happy weekend! TFS, Sharon🤗♥️

[@sherryw-ponyluv-er2394]

I love that you are sharing other cuisines with us. This looks so wonderful and I wish I could smell it! Did you make the naan?

[@FloLum]

I didn’t make the naan this time.

[@virginiaeriguel8738]

Looks delicious

[@MarkAlbert]

Love it when Chinese cook food of other national cuisines. I am German and love to cook and eat Asian food. Oh, and the comment from s/o in your cooking class and your reference to the teacher's response: Skim milk? Then why bother? Priceless! This looks so delicious and I will make this soon!

[@constancedreiseidel9412]

I love butter chicken. I will so try this recipe. Thank you for sharing. Hugs 🤗

[@stormieseajewelrypauletto]

I'm going to try this next week. I love Indian food.

[@johncooper2790]

I can't wait to cook this! Thank you for all your videos! Do you know of a recipe for pasta with curry sauce and ground beef?

[@FloLum]

Sorry, I don’t. 🤔

[@moniquemosley2122]

That butter chicken looks so good! Love the thumbnail - you look so pretty 😊

[@joewatanabe5543]

I love Indian food and this recipe looks like a winner.

[@isoldelippens6670]

Oh my gosh I am such an idiot…what a great idea with the mallet for my garlic. I can stop hurting my hand. Thank you!

[@FloLum]

🤣 Happy to help! 🧄🔨

[@Dee10294]

Blessings

[@sarahdao6594]

Delicious😍😍😍😍😍

[@greyhatdone]

[@spudnut00]

I'm with Dude. No discernable 'fat' in my mouth or things will all go south in a hot minute!

[@pjimmbojimmbo1990]

It is Authentic Butter Chicken, Authentic Flo Butter Chicken...

[@Vivechyanityam01]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@davidtodd2378]

That looks good, but how do you serve it, over rice or noodles. can we add veggies like broccoli florets & onions (sliced pole to pole), bell peppers etc...

[@kimhelms3669]

Traditional butter chicken is served over rice, as they state in the video. Vegetables of choice served on the side, not mixed in with the chicken.

[@vickiebillingsley7842]

Missed you were have you been

[@FloLum]

Not sure why people are not seeing my posts. I have posting weekly every single week for the past 7 years. 🤔

[@surlyogre1476]

They (Flo and Dude) have shifted their schedule to post on Fridays rather than Sundays. TGIF and have a nice weekend.

[@FloLum]

That doesn’t explain why our videos aren’t showing up for people.

[@corrinejacobson9232]

Hi Flo, I have a question. I was reading an article that you can grate your garlic rather than using a garlic press. So I see you mince the garlic with a knife, but use a grater for the ginger. Is there a difference between grating and using a knife to mince?

[@FloLum]

I like using the grater for ginger because it gets it finer and is more shredded than chopping, for me. I find the grater gets the garlic too fine for this recipe and I don’t want the garlic to burn. Plus there were 6 cloves and I can chop faster than grating. Depending on the recipe, sometimes I will grate the garlic along with the ginger. I’m all about less work! 😉

[@corrinejacobson9232]

@@FloLum thanks for your reply! I’m always wondering what I should do. My knife skills suck. So anything easier can help.

[@FloLum]

My knife skills used to suck a lot! Practice helps. The more you do it, the better you will get at it and a sharp knife is key!

[@surlyogre1476]

7:15 can we substitute coconut milk? Asking for a friend...

[@FloLum]

Why not? Just note that the taste will not be the same.

[@ericclayton6287]

Eat it with naan, voila Indian pizza

[@janez7650]

Could I use coconut milk?

[@FloLum]

You could. Just be aware that it will not taste the same.

[@FLOODOFSINS]

I just found this channel. I'm only a little late (9 and a half years). Now the thing is I don't want to watch old videos. It's similar to eating a 3 day old TV dinner leftovers or combining spam, tofu, and something green all together and calling it a meal for a loved one. So I'm going to have to request that you redo all of your past videos so I am not subject to the feeling of a frozen sponge leftover. I only like fresh meals and video recipes served up. After all, I just sat down and found your channel/home and you don't want to give me leftovers do you? It might sound like a selfish request but I hear practice makes perfect + new views.
