Butter Chicken Masala | North Indian Style | Restaurant Style

Butter Chicken Masala. A delightful famous Chicken recipe. From couple of months I was thinking to post this recipe. But somehow it would not work! So this evening I got the chance to share the recipe of Butter chicken masala. This recipe I learned from one Bengali cookery show. But I made some changes on it. In case of garam masala I prepared it at home that has little different flavors which increase the taste of Chicken butter masala. Trust me it is exclusively Restaurant style Chicken Butter Masala. After preparing in this way you will say the same. So I claim it is an Authentic food spicy and lovely recipe. With tandoori roti and butter naan it goes marvelous. But you should use the all the spices which I mentioned here...and for some ingredients I mentioned to use only Everest spices no other brands please.. So Dearies a North Indian Restaurant Style Butter Chicken Masala is waiting for you...

Why red food color!? Wonderful recipe minus that. Couldn't we actually marinate the meat rather than cheating with dye?

Awadhi Paneer Masala | Lucknow Paneer Masala

Whenever I am thinking for some special cuisine at my home, it has to be really a special dish for me. No any common dishes I would not prefer to follow absolutely. So Some state or region has its own culture for their cuisines. So we identify them only by their special and identical cooking preparation which are really well known by all of us.As for example For Mughlai khana we always know that Biriyani is the most favorable delicacy. Same to same Awadhi cuisine or Lucknow cuisine has their own specialty too. In maximum cases they are cooking in Dum Puckt style foods means cooking will be done in a big hundi with a lid including all the spices but in low flame. But think as Mughal culture and Lucknow culture are more or less same in their cooking style. Still it has to be some differentiation in some cases. Hope you got to know that why I had given so many lectures about the Awadhi Cooking. Because today I want share one Awadhi special recipe. It's a simple and easy cooking reci
