Lemme clarify a few things for those who eat and dont eat meat!

1) eating meat on or day after kali puja i. e diwali is a thing because of bali partha (sacrificing a animal) because that meat is considered parasad for some people whereas just an excuse for some people to eat meat, this meat is usually mutton -goat's meat, some people have fish in a way to celebrate -(bengali custom)

You'll get to see these custom mostly in bihar, jharkhand and bengal .

2) however northern part don't have meat or especially chicken in diwali,

However, having chicken on a hindu festival is more of a family thing

I once had a coworker that needed someone to cover his shift and everyone turned him down. I covered it for him because he was just so nice and pleasant to be around. In return he brought me a gift of butter chicken and jasmine rice with naan from his family's restaurant. It was delicious. Absolutely the best I've ever had and I've been looking for a recipe similar to it. Thank you for this!

FINALLY someone takes their ring off before putting their hands in food

[kiravanderhoek]

Iv never made it from scratch before and I don't think it'll ever be the same. Had a smile when I sat down with my rice and papadums and had my first bite of the finished product. This recipe is. Delish !

I ate A LOT of butter chicken when I lived in Kenya. I thought I wouldn't be able to find that taste again, but I made this for my family on Sunday, a huge hit! Best recipe EVER. Thank you!

As soon as I saw this video, I screen shot the recipe immediately!! I made this for my niece and I, and we both LOVE this recipe!! It’s so well-rounded, and has a “cooked all day” flavor without the wait!! And I discovered a new seasoning I use in other dishes now : Deggi Mirch!!!

I really love how indian foods have a lot of ingredients. Really curious and wanted to taste authentic Indian foods!

[Monbebesaurus]

My mouth is literally watering. I can imagine the flavors.

[subratachakraborty]

[faith]

Imagine your mom asking you to make a recipe so good that she gifts it to her friends. Now, that’s a flex. ❤

[alexsmith]

Me in diwali: mom i want butter chicken.
My mom: throws belan from kitchen

[venussalimbay]

I’m glad, someone showed to removed their ring while cooking. That’s a cleaned cooking. Thanks

[buddyholly]

I am a terrible cook and I made this. OMG it's better than the restaurant!! I was surprised because it wasn't as complicated as I thought it was going to be. I added cashews and yogurt to mine so I could do less cream. I'm thinking next time I make it I can try to hide some vegetables in the gravy. Maybe something sweet like bell peppers or carrots. I AM VERY GRATEFUL FOR THIS RECIPE. THANK YOU!! 😀😀😀

[katyekatart]

Am I the only one who’s literally obsessed with her voice? It’s so soothing and comforting.
