The butter chicken recipe requires one to have various ingredients that will include 1 kg of boneless chicken with its skin removed, 1 teaspoon of red chili powder and 8 to 10 almonds. Additionally, 2 bay leaves, 2 teaspoons of garlic paste, 3 tablespoons of vegetable of sunflower oil, 2 teaspoons coriander powder, ? stock chicken stock, 3 tablespoons un melted soft butter, coriander leaves for garnishing, lime juice from 1 lemon, 6 cloves, 8 to 10 peppercorns, 1 inch cinnamon stick and 3 to 4 pods of cardamom seeds. You'll also need 1 teaspoon of ginger paste, 2 chopped onions, 1 cup fresh yoghurt, 1 teaspoon cuminutes powder, ? turmeric powder, 2 tablespoons of dried fenugreek leaves also known as kasuri methi, 1 can tomato sauce as well as salt to taste.

The first step in preparing this popular Indian dish is to use a large non-metallic bowl where you should mix red chili powder, salt, lime juice and chicken. This bowl should then be covered and left to marinade for 1 hour. You should then use a flat pan to roast the cloves, cinnamon, peppercorns, almonds, bay leaves and this should be don on medium heat while frequently stirring them. You should wait until they become slightly dark and let them cool off for some time. You should then follow this up by adding some cardamom seeds to the spices and grinding them in a clean and dry coffee grinder.

You should also use another bowl to mix the spice powder you have just prepared with yoghurt. In this mixture you should add the turmeric powder, cuminutes as well as coriander and combine these with the chicken and then allow them to marinade for one hour. You should then use a deep pan to heat the oil over medium heat and add onions soon after. These onions should be fried until they become golden brown and pale and then you can now add the ginger and garlic pastes to it and fry for approx 1 minute.

The chicken should then be added from the chicken spice mix and these should be fried until they become sealed meaning that the chicken's skin will become white from pink and also become opaque. The kasuri methi, tomato sauce, and the remaining yoghurt should be added to the chicken. Cook chicken on stove until it becomes tender and the gravy reduces to about half of its original amount. You should then use a small pan to melt butter and then use this butter to pour over the chicken. You should then garnish the chicken by adding the coriander leaves and the dish will be ready to serve.
