Best Butter Chicken Recipe on the Internet (So far...)

One of my favorite Indian restaurants (Moti Mahal) is located in Downtown Royal Oak, MI. They serve some of the best Indian cuisine I have ever tasted. I have tried quite a few Indian Restaurants in Metro Detroit and even tried a few Indian dishes while vacationing in Aruba but nothing compares to the Butter Chicken and Indian Cuisine that is served at Moti Mahal. I have looked long and hard for a recipe that is even similar to some of Moti Mahal's dishes with no luck.

My desperate search for authentic Indian cuisine lead me to try many restaurants, and even to buying expensive, hard to find ingredients from long and exhausting recipes, requiring hours of preparation and cook times. Then one day, about two years ago, I stumbled upon this butter chicken recipe by Nagi on her blog, Recipe Tin Eats.

Let me tell you this dish is to die for. nothing I have made thus far even compares to this butter chicken recipe. I have made it for my family on multiple occasions and even my 5 year old daughter loves it! It also doesn't require a lot of time. Even when I am too forgetful to marinate the chicken overnight, It still turns out delicious, though I do recommend marinating.

This dish is creamy delicious with no alterations, but for a flavor more similar to Moti Mahal's butter Chicken, I did substitute the cream for coconut milk which made the flavor sweeter and more similar to the dish served at Moti Mahal.
