    I LOVE butter chicken!

    Luckily I live in a city that has a "Little India." Sometimes I go there for their wonderful lunch buffets. It’s incredible. Extremely delicious food, healthy food, and reasonably priced. I can’t think of it getting much better.

    Anyway, here’s a delicious recipe that a friend sent:

    7 Tbsp – Butter
    1 Tbsp – Oil
    2 Onion chopped
    About 1 inch of ginger root chopped
    2 -tsp garan masala
    2 – tsp coriander
    1 – tsp chilli powder
    1 – tsp black cumin (I think that most cumin in the store is the black
    cumin)
    1 – clove garlic
    1- tsp salt
    3 – green cardamoms
    3 – black pepper corns
    2/3 cup yogurt
    2 tbsp tomato paste
    2/3 cup water
    2 bay leaves
    2/3 cup light cream

    The way I like to do it, is use these ingredients in a deep frying pan on the stove, with about anywhere from a half-chicken’s worth to a full chicken.

    Yum!

    I think you are mixing up a few Indian dishes:

    Tandoori Chicken is basically Indian BBQ chicken.

    Chicken Tikka Masala: Chicken in a creamy tikka masala curry.

    Butter Chicken (Murgh Makhani) is yet another yummy curry dish.

    tandoori chicken and butter chicken, are 2 different recipes.
    tandoori chicken is roasted in the special chulha , that is a grill constructed speccially for the purpose, inwhich you can roast rotis, kebabs, fish, paneer and vegetables.
    where as, you can make the butter chicken, by deboning the boiled chicken, and cooking it in tomato puree, and butter, with some spices, and onion paste.
