AUTHENTIC CHICKEN MAKHANI (INDIAN BUTTER CHICKEN)
This is a family recipe of a coworker of mine that is from India. Perfect combination of spice and heat, and the chicken comes out tender, not dry. Some ingredients, however, can only be found at an Indian grocery store, but well worth the visit.

- In a large bowl, add chicken, Ginger-garlic paste, Red chilli powder, Salt to taste, Turmeric powder, Coriander powder, Cumin Powder, Garam masala, Chicken masala powder, and Yogurt.
- Stir mixture well, and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- In a large pan or wok, medium-high heat the oil and butter and fry the chicken pieces (set aside the marinate) just until slightly under-done, then add the marinate to the pan and cook for 2 more minutes, or until hot. When done, pour mixture into a different bowl, covered, and set aside.

INDIAN BUTTER CHICKEN (MURGH MAKHANI)
Murgh Makhani (otherwise known as "Butter Chicken" ) is one of my favorite Indian dishes. It is also a great dish to make for people who are new to Indian food-- everybody seems to like this one! I like to make it in the slow cooker; this allows the chicken to become melt-in-your-mouth tender and super flavorful. Serve it with steamed basmati rice and naan bread for dipping!

SEITAN MAKHANI (VEGAN-STYLE INDIAN BUTTER CHICKEN)
Chicken Makhani is a dish I always loved before becoming vegan. It is my absolute favorite Indian dish, so I knew I had to try to make it so I could curb my cravings. The sauce tastes amazing with naan and white rice. The seitan is an excellent substitute for meat in many dishes. You can buy store-bought seitan, which can be expensive, or you can make your own.

RESTAURANT STYLE INDIAN BUTTER CHICKEN (CHICKEN MAKHANI)
My friends always ask me to make them my Butter Chicken (Chicken Makhani) when I invite them over for dinner! It's *SO* good that I have stopped ordering it at Indian Restaurants! I use a few drops of liquid smoke to give it a 'tandoori' flavour, and don't skip the dried fenugreek leaves. They are what make it taste as though it's from your favourite curry house! UPDATE: One individual has complained that there is excess chili powder in this recipe. It may be that North American chili powder has less heat? Certainly do not omit this ingredient. I used the usual 'chili powder' found at North American grocery stores, the generic type often used in Chili Con Carne. (I hope this clarifies any confusion!)
