I couldnt get any garam masala in my area but mixed together my own recipe, also I used fresh garlic and brown basmati rice. Even with my preferred changes I enjoyed your recipe very much.

This was my first attempt at Indian cooking - and the dish was a real hit. It was served as part of an Indian themed dinner party, and there have been several requests for the recipe. Like other reviewers, I substituted yogurt for cream. I made the base several hours ahead of time to allow the flavors to mingle (and to cut down on my prep time. I heated it up and added the peas and yogurt just before serving. Easy, tasty dish - it's also great for left-over lunches!

I've made this a few times for people and everyone seems to love it, but something about it seems to be off. My old roomate's mom made the best butter chicken I've ever had and it didn't have as strong of a tomatoe base. Unfortunately, my family is from South India and doesn't make this North Indian recipe, so I'm at a loss as to what needs to be tweeked. For what it is, though, this recipe is pretty darn good and satisfies my craving for home cooking.

i think that this recipe comes pretty close to butter chicken that i'm used to, but there were couple key things i wanted to add that we did. one, we added probably 3 more tablespoons of butter; two, we cooked the tomato mixture for much longer than 5 minutes....the tomatoes needed to cook down. then we actually blended it to give it the smoother texture i'm accustomed to. lastly, the recipe never tells you when to add the cream, which is what we did last. i actually think it needed more butter. also, we just baked some chicken breasts really slowly in the oven and added them, instead of the rotisserie chicken.

This was my first attempt at cooking an Indian dish and I was so pleased with the result. I doubled the recipe for a dinner party of 8, although I only used the one (large rotisserie chicken (from Costco. I made the tomato base earlier in the day, then reheated closer to dinner time, added the chicken to simmer for a couple of minutes and just before serving added yogurt (instead of cream and peas. The fragrance alone is worth making this dish - what a treat for the senses! Be sure to cook the onions as long as the recipe calls for. A fast, simple and exciting meal.

I did not have garam marsala so I used Madras curry. I also substituted plain yogurt for the cream, and toasted pita for the nan bread. It's a fragrant, delicious dish and I have made it several times.

This was good. I substituted 1/3 c. of plain yogurt for the cream and I used boneless chicken breasts which may not have had the flavor of the roasted chicken. I didn't use basmati as my daughter doesn't like the taste. It was good. Quite good flavor in the sauce.

We served this to my mother-in-law and she just loved it. She's a curry fanatic and thought this one tasted like the curries in the restaurants. We used plain yogurt in place of the heavy cream.
