Butter chicken is a classic Indian dish that has gained immense popularity worldwide. The creamy, rich tomato sauce, tender chicken, and aromatic spices make it a truly irresistible delicacy. In this recipe, we'll elevate the flavors of butter chicken by using Amul Butter, known for its high-quality taste and smooth texture.

Ingredients:

• 1 kg boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1/4 teaspoon garam masala
• 1 large tomato, chopped
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 inch piece ginger, minced
• 1 can (400 ml) crushed tomatoes
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (Amul Butter)
• 1 tablespoon Kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves)
• Salt to taste
• For serving: Naan bread or rice

Instructions:

1. Marinate the chicken: In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces, yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, cumin, coriander, red chili powder, turmeric, garam masala, and salt. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight.
2. Cook the onions and tomatoes: Heat some oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until softened and golden brown. Stir in the garlic and ginger, and cook for another minute.
3. Add the tomatoes: Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato puree, and marinated chicken to the pot. Stir to combine.
4. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
5. Add cream and butter: Stir in the heavy cream and Amul Butter. Let the mixture simmer for a few more minutes, until the butter melts and the sauce becomes creamy.
6. Add Kasuri methi: Stir in the Kasuri methi and adjust the seasoning with salt to taste.
7. Serve: Serve the butter chicken hot with naan bread or rice.

Tips:

• For a spicier butter chicken, add more red chili powder or some chopped green chilies.
• You can also add a few tablespoons of water or stock to the sauce if it becomes too thick.
• For a richer flavor, use a combination of ghee and butter.
• Garnish the butter chicken with fresh cilantro or chopped green onions before serving.
