I'm Indian, and I was watching this video with my mother, and she would just not stop complimenting you on your cooking. You cook just like an average Indian and that can be tricky. Kudos to you Laura! My mom loved the video.

I just don't understand, she clearly said: IT'S HER VERSION OF THE RECIPE. Why is there still people judging her recipe? .. Not to be rude, if you want judge so much on Laura's recipe, how about you make a Channel on your own. ..

I'm Indian and we made this and it tasted even BETTER than any Indian restaurant we've ever been to! My mom was so excited for this video! Thanks!

As an Indian I think I can rightfully say that you did a great job! Cooking, esp when cooking Indian food, is about experimenting! I'm so excited to try this with my dad. Thanks for the recipe!

Hey Laura, I am a regular follower of your channel(s) and therefore aware of the regular complaints about your dishes "not being authentic". I am an Indian who absolutely loves butter chicken, and can proudly say you did an awesome job! As you said, authentic or not, a dish should be delicious and I am sure each one of yours is :-)

Hi Laura, I'm a HUGE fan of yours! My grandparents are Indian so we eat a lot of Indian food around here, and all I can say is that your recipe looks AMAZING! My grandmother would be proud. Lol.

I'm Indian & this dish originated from Delhi. You're right butter chicken means it's cooked in butter not oil but please don't use olive oil, instead use canola or vegetable oil. Also you're recipe is very authentic. I'm really impressed.

fasting and watching these videos is next level torture but soo satisfying at the same time

Best cook on KZfaq IMO!

No more takeout for me! I'm trying THIS recipe next time I crave Butter Chicken. You rock Laura, it looks amazing!

First off Indian Independence Day was August 15!! What a Perfect time for the Indian Recipes :) I'm Indian and my parents are both from different states in India. Even Indians make many dishes different then the next person. People need to understand that they are not the only people living in this world and everything doesn't revolve around them. Especially with how much the internet connects us all! I am just honored that you love Indian food and excited to see your version of it! I have been watching your videos for few years now and so happy to see how far you have come! Keep up the great work and good luck with everything! Also from what I understand in a lot of places in India we call it "Malai chicken" Malai is the thick cream and I guess translated it became butter

im indian and laura your almost at pure indian cooking kudos for almost matching the awesomeness of indian cooking

A pro tip on this dish! If you roast your spices, and seeds in a dry pan for a few minutes it REeeAAAALLLLy complements the dish! Looks delish.

OMG - this is one of the few times a dish has maintained its Indian essence! Normally, people just change it completely and then hate it! The baked stuff in the beginning is great as it is too!

I uber love your cooking personality, so warmly confident & comforting!! Thanks for what you share.

I love your dishes that are inspired various cultures! You make things that seem difficult at home so easy. I can't wait to try this

This looks amazing Laura! Great take on a traditional Indian dish :)

I am Pakistani, and this food is almost Desi. So I am extremely familiar with these spices. My mom was born in Pakistan and I always help her cook and I can tell you, GREAT JOB! I didnt think you could nail it as good as you did. You are such a great cook and I cannot wait to try this amazing recipe. I know it won't let me,down. None of your recipes do. :)

everytime one of your videos comes up its past midnight in my country, and EVERYTIME i get out of bed and check if i have the ingredients for whatever recipe you're making ^_^ thats how awesome your videos are !! and i literally cant wait to try this one . yesterday i've made your Red velvet cuppcake recipe and it turned out heavenly . THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING LAURA

congratulations on your new show Laura and Joe! I have been watching your channel for years now and love every single recipe you post!

Wow laura! So glad u decided to post these "controversial" recipes for us! This looks absolutely delicious :)

It is very near to the authentic recipe, really! Also, try biryani, which is another authentic Indian/ Pakistani recipe and pair it with some butter chicken. That combination is heaven! :))

I find it very important as a young couple that I show my partner that old tradition of home cooking not only saves a shed load of money in the long term , but you Laura vitale are my saving grace thank to you making things so clear comfortable and simple for him my partner. Has ventured into the kitchen and I swear by you I'm one of your biggest fans and thank you so much we appreciate what you do. You show that cooking doesn't always mean follow a recipe Sometimes ya gotta. Make do with what ya. Got :-) going to make those. Italian butter cookies with him which is exciting already used your blueberry muffin recipe and used white chocolate and British strawberries instead and the levelling worked you're amazing !!!!

This looks amazing! I def try this very soon! Thanks Laura

I made this and added tumeric as suggested and it was mm mm delicious!

An indian will be using an italians recipe to make indian food.....*heads to grocery store*

Hey Laura, I just wanted to tell you that, its not just the simplicity of your recipes that keeps me coming back for more, but also your enthusiasm for food and cooking. I love the way you articulate your feelings while cooking. Now, I know most people feel offended with the suggestions offered in the comments, but as a fellow foodie and cooking lover, I couldn't help but suggest, may be next time you can try and fry the onion and tomatoes mixture, till the oil separates, without adding water. You can even store that paste in refrigerator and it will keep for couple of weeks at least. once oil is separated, you can continue on with the same recipe with water and rest of ingredients. That's just a common technique used in Punjabi cooking (since it is a Punjabi dish). You will notice the change in taste. It renders very subtle, almost smoky flavour to the recipe. Once again, thank you for taking up this dish, Its my favourite too!!

I LOVE THIS RECIPE !

Quick tip, after adding the spices let them cook out and fry in the hot oil for a bit longer to really release their flavour before adding the tomato sauce 👌

Laura in the Kitchen Butter Chicken is traditionally a northern dish in India, specifically it is a part of the Punjabi cuisine. Punjab is a northern province in India and is known for having a far reaching cultural impact on defining what Indian cuisine is perceived as in other countries. Mostly because the people of Punjab were one of the first people to start migrating everywhere in the world even during the British colonial era. Punjabi people are enterprising people, so wherever they went they took their food with them. Some of the first western nations they moved to were Canada and Britain. Canada has known their food longer than Americans have. India is a multi-ethnic nation. Here we don't define ethnicity in terms of race relations as in North America. The differences are kinda European in nature. So for instance Italians and say the Swedish have completely different cultures, history, language, art and food but they are part of the same European story. Similarly Indian provinces are also defined by differences in ethic language, history and culture. For Instance Tamil food is completely different from say Gujarati food, and so on. But it still is part of the same Indian story. Political history, the differences and colonial imperialism led to each ethnic community in Europe in establishing different countries in Europe. Our history led to the formation of a single nation, in spite of our differences (India is a huge old world country). Coming to Butter Chicken, the name is probably of British origin but the dish itself is decidedly Indian. In India White Butter is used for this dish which is a much lighter and less refined butter. By contrast in the West mostly reined yellow butter is used, unless it is a very authentic and up market Indian restaurant. Adding the white butter in large quantities adds to a minor difference in flavour while adding richness. I'm from an eastern province called Bihar with a separate ethnic identity from the people of Punjab. Our food tastes nothing like Punjabi food. Although from a western perspective the "curry" factor still remains but flavours are different. Just like for European food generally the "continental" factor remains. It is part of the same cuisine but with major differences. Also Chicken Tikka Masala is a British invention. There was no such thing in India till the British Indians brought it to India quite recetly about 10 years ago. And now you can find it in big Indian cities too. Butter Chicken would ideally mean cooking the chicken with the bone in with bigger pieces. But for the purposes of take away and western tastes, usage of cutlery instead of hands for eating the chicken was reduced to bite sized pieces, in the US, UK and Canada. What else is bite sized in Indian cuisine? The Tandoori cooked chicken Kebabs. So instead of cooking the meat separately the cooks started throwing in Kebabs in the pre-prepared curry gravy. In India we don't grill, bake or broil the meat before throwing it in the curry. In fact the chicken is cooked with the curry. You can use the chiken straight after marination of a couple of hours and it won't make any differnce. In fact you will see that the meat remains juicier that way. This whole business of baking the chicken originated out of a need to quickly prepare Indian food in take away restaurants. Not because that is how it's made. I hope this huge comment makes sense. :P Eitherway I absolutely love your cooking. My advice, cook larger pieces with the bone in the chicken. You won't need to bake it then. And honestly you can let the cream boil after the curry reduces a bit. With all those onions and spices, the cream will NOT split. You can also wait a while before adding in the cream.Wait for the tomato gravy to boil over and simmer and then you can add the cream after some time and cover it to simmer.

Looks really easy and delicious! I am making this tomorrow! Thanks, Laura!

So proud of you Laura, great job luv!!!

Hi Laura, you are right about the name "butter chicken". It is not about the butter, it is the velvety butter like texture that gives the name. It looks delicious!! you have our support! be fearless. **Keep calm and cook Indian**

why am i watching this at 330 in the morning i am so hungry

That looks very tempting Laura! Thanks!

I'm SO glad you did this recipe because I had this last week and it was so amazing! I know yours would be so good too!

Indian is my absolute favourite food to eat, I would love if you could make more Indian recipies.. My faves are Korma or Saag Wala anything really! Great job On this recipe.

actually you could add a few spoons of butter but originally it doesnt have butter it has what we call in india ghee which is like butter hope i helped

Love this recipe . Great job. Can't wait for more new recipes.

"And the cream will spill, and then you'll cry and tell that it is my fault.." LOL

Maybe something spanish like a paella! Or simpler a Puerto Rican rice and beans dish :)

Hate watching these videos when I'm hungry

Can't wait to try this!

thank you for this wonderful recipe I love your recipe's sooooo much

I am an Indian. loved ur version Laura😘😘

Could you perhaps make your own version of beef or chicken vindaloo? Also, in the video, you said wanted a garlic naan to go with your chicken; perhaps, your own version of a garlic naan is another suggestion that I have.

Laura you did an amazing job! I'm a huge fan of yours and I'm always happy to see you make food from different countries! Keep up the fantastic work!

this recipe is AMAZING!!! everyone enjoyed the chicken thoroughly!! thank you for sharing this!!!

Girl, is there anything you can't cook?

the thing about indian food is that it's SO good but it needs so many different spices and ingredients and i end up having to get big amounts of everything but only use like, 1 teaspoon.

Laura you are the most prestigious chef in the world, you have the whole package, absolutely amazing, I'm a huge fan! X

Thank you for your lovely recipes, Indian or Italian, they are all great!

try biriyani trust me its the best food on earth. especially when u cook it, i am sure it will be out of world.

Hey Laura! you did a really good job doing the recipe. if you want to try something different what my mom does is doesn't add the onions and cumin seeds she makes cashew paste and adds which gives a nutty flavor. I think its called butter chicken cause it feels smooth like butter in the mouth lol love ya

I would love to see a Beef Stroganoff recipe!

What a inspiration and fabulous cook, i love indian food and now this is on my menu of tasty dishes.

hey laura, you did a great job.. but you missed some key ingredients like cardamom, cloves, cinnamon stick, mace, bay leaves and turmeric.. next time you make this dish just put these whole spices with butter and cumin seeds in the beginning and i bet your dish will taste and smell ten times better.. love yah..

Laura, you should try making roti. My mom was born in Trinidad and Tobago and they make it different there than they do in other countries. You should really try it!

Hi Laura,I am a HUGE HUGE HUGE fan of yours.I get inspired by all of you recipes and try them at home.They come out great all the time! I am an Indian and I have butter chicken when ever I go to Indian restaurants,and yes in butter chicken you do add butter.Also you did great cooking butter chicken!

brilliant thanks love your versions n watching you make indian recipes coz i have difficulty in cooking indian dishes at times. will try ur recipe

the best channel i hv ever seen so lively n talented u r

Turmeric is a key ingredient missing, and you have to purée the sauce before you add the chicken and heavy cream. Other than that, it was a good attempt. :)

only missing ingredient is turmeric powder..anyways..awesome :)

Just made this it was amazing thanks for the recipe x

Nice job. I like your presentation and I learned about how to make one of my favorite dishes. Thanks.

I wish i was your neighbor so that I could be your taster lol can you make Alcapurias its a Puerto Rican fried fritter or Bacalaitos also a fritter

I think you should cook the tomatoes a bit more, to get a richer color and flavour.

Hi Laura, I am from India and wanted to say this looks amazing! Also about butter chicken containing butter - yes it does.. the entire masala is cooked in butter, also what you can do sometimes if you don't want to add too much butter is - cook it in vegetable oil, then right at the end once the dish is done you can slit 1 fresh green chilly and just add it to the top of the dish with some melted butter and close the lid for 10 minutes, it adds a lovely flavor to the entire gravy.

I'm watching this at 2am and I'm actually craving for this dish! I'm gonna cook this in the morning later on!! Excited much!

Did you get this from Jamie Oliver's Food Tube channel? ?!!

please make more indian food!!! really need it, even though i and indian XD let's just say that cooking id not my fortay..

Omg!!! Thank you so much for this dish!!! I can't wait to cook it!

Hi Laura, I think all your recipes are FANTASTIC! I have tried almost all of them (but desserts) and I love every one of them! I'll try this 'Indian chicken' tomorrow!

How do you not gain weight is beyond me!

Im from the UK and tomato puree looks completely different to that, anyone know if its something different in the uk, it just looks like chopped tomatoes.. but more chopped :P

You did an amazing job with it. Brilliant.

It looks lovely Laura! Good Job!

Actually not a bad effort! (I'm an Anglo Indian) have you seen what Indians do to pasta? it's horrendous... well done Laura...

JOHN 12:44-50 44 And Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me. 45 And whoever sees me sees him who sent me. 46 I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. 47 If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day. 49 For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment-what to say and what to speak. 50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has told me.” Just wanted to share the word of God with you or anyone reading today and I pray that if you don't know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior that you will seek Him and repent and give your life to Him today. He died on the cross to pay for our sins so that we don't have to. He died for us and took the punishment we deserved as sinners against God so that we would not have to endure hell. And He did so because He loves us. And I pray again that today you will leave sin behind and give Christ a chance in your life. He is the only way to eternal life(heaven) and He is waiting with open arms for you. God bless :o)

So excited to watch you make Indian food .Laura you are so amazing!!!!

This was great, we loved the recipe!!!
