First marination is important so that the salt seeps to the insides of the chicken, it shouldn’t be bland from the inside. And in this first marination we'll keep it aside for 15-20 minutes. Alright, we put it over here. We have Mustard oil, if you don’t have Mustard oil you can also use regular oil. Add Kashmiri chilli powder to the oil, we do this as in the oil, the Chilli powder best bleeds out its natural colour and we get a bright red colour.
Look at that. No colours need to be added. Avoid colours in food. We have got hung yogurt, that is bound curd add a little Salt to it and a little Lemon juice. We will whisk it nicely. There. This is the second marination for our Chicken. This is the chicken from the first marination, we squeeze out any excess water put it in there. Now, Nicely Mix it up.

It goes in there. All of it. Now. That’s it. It is important that we strain this gravy. We want a smooth, silky, shiny Butter Chicken gravy. For that, it is important to strain it.
Always add some water and wash off whatever is sticking to the jar. Almost everything gets strained except for the outer skin of the tomatoes and a little bit of those coarse spices. We’ll heat the pan again, melt some good quantity of butter. Let the butter melt. In this, we add chopped Ginger and green Chilli. Light saute of Ginger and Green Chilli, adds a touch of magic to the final Butter Chicken Gravy. Great.

While my gravy is getting ready, I need to cook my Chicken Tikka. So I’m going to move this here and move the curry on this one. The pan is already hot. Just a very light drizzle of oil. I have taken this grill pan on purpose to get a nice grill mark, which gives you a feeling of a Tandoor or a grill.
Really hot pan. If you put the chicken on mild flame it will leave out water and become like a boiled chicken and not a grilled chicken. Make sure you don’t toss the Chicken. We have to let it cook from one side patiently. We have to let it cook from one side patiently. Nice grill marks will appear and Chicken will be about half cooked. Then we’ll flip it. Cook it from the other side and out. We do not flip it again and again. Chicken is almost done. To the curry we have we'll add Salt in it.
Add Fenugreek leaves powder, just a little Sugar for sweetness And this chicken, directly into this curry. Now we'll cook it in this curry for 2-4 minutes. To get that beautiful Butter Chicken. Almost ready. Towards the end, we'll finish it with a little cream and freshly chopped Coriander After adding the cream, give it a nice stir.
And it is done. Now, all we need to do is plate it and quickly eat it. For plating Just pour the curry over. Cut some cream. And garnish it with a fresh sprig of Coriander.
