Developed in Delhi, India in the 1940s, butter chicken was created out of a need to make good use of leftover tandoori chicken which was easily brought back to life with a simple tomato and cream spiced gravy. Flavorful, hearty, and easy on the wallet, this recipe might become the newest addition to your meal rotation. It’s simple enough for those just breaking into Indian cuisine, but also hits all of the right notes for those who already love this classic. Note: If you would like to schedule this meal, but do not want to wait for the broiler to cool before refrigerating, add onion, garlic, ginger, butter, garam masala, chili powder, fenugreek, salt, and cumin to medium skillet and cook over medium low heat about 5 minutes, until onions are translucent and spices start to smell nutty, and then add to Suvie pan instead of broiling in Step 1.
