Let's Cook: Butter Chicken Apr 10, 2021

Show notes

Today I get back into the kitchen for a "Let's Cook" episode! This will be my first time cooking Butter Chicken. I've had it several times at Indian Restaurants, but I have never cooked it myself (for the record, I have not made Chicken Tikka Masala either, and these dishes are closely related). I was thrilled with how it turned out and will definitely be adding this to my recipe rotation.
