Last week we went to a restaurant for family dinner. The restaurant is famous for its Pakistani Cuisine. We ordered our food including different gravy based dishes and rice. One particular dish was extra ordinary tasty and it became an instant hit. It was the Butter Chicken that attracted us most.

Upon our family's demand, we tried Butter Chicken recipe at home and it turned out very delicious and aromatic dish. So, we are sharing our own recipe with you all.
