Butter chicken, Don’t know how i miss this recipe to share here, this is our most favourite curry in chicken to relish with roti.. These butter chicken masala is similar to panner butter masala.. some how this is not too close to the punjabi restaurant.. though the richness of the gravy from cashew milk and fresh cream will lift up the eyes to taste more..
