This recipe was awesome! If I were to change anything, I would double the sauce. Overall, it was delicious and easy to make!

I made this exactly as directed. My only confusion was the garam masala seasoning - I couldn't find it anywhere. I considered asking my neighborhood Indian restaurant for it, but ended up Googling it and there are several recipes for the spice blend - very easy to make!

This a pretty good recipe, but if you want the REALLY authentic Butter Chicken the exact way they make it in the restaurants, go to this site. He shows a video on how to make it, it's the best stuff I've ever had.

I made this for my daughter and her college roommate. They loved it! It has since been a recipe shared around the family and well loved. I didn't have the g. marsala and substituted a good quality prepared curry powder. I lived in India for a while and loved the food. This isn't it exactly but it is a delicious family meal.

I didn't have quite the same ingredients (I cooked up some chicken while making the sauce, but it was easy to tweak and tastes delicious. I think next time I'll try a crock pot version to make the chicken really tender. If you like Indian food, try this!

I prepared this for a family from India. Everyone had seconds and nothing left but the empty plates.

After finding this recipe, I was eager to make it but found it difficult to find the garam masala seasoning. Since I work in Silicon Valley, I was going to ask one of my coworkers to pick some up when they go to the Indian market. I ended up finding it at a farmer's market, however. I would think it would be difficult for a lot of people to find the seasoning depending on where they live. Anywho, I finally made it last night with a Costco chicken. It was very simple to make and the results were very satisfying. Not so much like the butter chicken I eat at all the Indian restaurants, but a great Indian dish nonetheless. My bf doesn't like chicken so much and doesn't care for Indian food, but he said it was delicious. I like spicy food so the little "kick" was ok for me, I would think it would be a little too spicy for most.

My husband and I enjoy eating at Indian restaurants, but have wanted to try to cook some of the foods we've come to love. This recipe tastes very much like the one at our local restaurant. I went with Naan though instead of pita to get a slightly more authentic taste.

This was my first time attempting to make "murga makhanwala" also known as, butter chicken. Me and my wife tremendously enjoyed this recipe however we did make a few changes. We omitted the ground ginger because we did not have any at the time. We also followed the suggestions of a previous reviewer and did not use as much cinnamon. Instead of using a rotisserie chicken we cubed raw chicken breast and let it cook in the tomato base. I urge anyone who likes butter chicken to try this recipe - it's easy, fast and delicious!
