Butter Chicken

Butter Chicken is my favorite in restaurant menus..wanted to make that in home too..and achieved the smooth creamy texture as we get in restaurants..adding cream does the magic I think..If you are health conscious you can omit that,but I can't assure about the texture..Once in a while it's ok I think..We had it with naan..tastes soo delicious...Goes well with chapathi, pulavs too...Do try and enjoy this creamy goodness...
