How to Make Butter Chicken | Traditional Recipe | With Tahreem
We have a very special video today, as Chef Hussain’s daughter Tahreem teaches you how to make our delicious Butter Chicken. Tahreem is following a traditional, authentic recipe, just like we eat at home.
Family is so important to us here on The Balti Brothers channel. Our journey in the food industry began four generations ago in Pakistan where our great grandfather Mohammed Rashid started a legendary catering business. His son (our grandfather) Mirza Rashid later moved the business to Nakodar, where he set up a restaurant which proved just as popular! In 1969, our father Mohammad Rashid brought this passion for food to the UK where he set up a food wholesaler servicing local shops and restaurants. In 2001, Chef Hussain took over the business and opened our restaurant called The Balti House with his brothers ​​Haroon, Mahfooz and Mahmoon. So if you didn’t know, The Balti Brothers really are brothers!
As you can imagine, this makes it very special to see Tahreem inherit our love of cooking and her passion to share it with all of you. We hope you enjoy this video!

🍛 What is Butter Chicken?
Butter chicken originated from Northern India in the 20th Century. It is marinated chicken, prepared in a delicious gravy of onions, tomatoes, spices and cream. It’s quite a rich dish, with a smooth, silky texture that goes great with rice or a naan.
🔥 Is it spicy?
Not at all! Butter chicken is tasty, but relatively mild thanks to the cream and yoghurt we use in it.

Sorry 🙏 i asked about the butter chicken masala ignore me , i didn't realise it was a powder, i have asked in a few Asian shop's about it here in Manchester , they say they have never heard of it, do you know were i can buy some please.

[@carlpasha]

Enjoyable videos overall and I've subscribed, but please, what is butter chicken masala powder? I stopped viewing after that (as I know I don't have it) and moved on to other recipes elsewhere.

[@JohnT1]

Just followed this recipe to the letter, do we think the tablespoon should be teaspoon in places as it’s un eatable at these quantities and I’ve just binned it. 😳
