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'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!

I love when Laura cooks indian food.

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 !!!!

Best cook on KZfaq IMO!

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 :-)

That looks pretty damn good to me!!!!

Yum i love butter chicken

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. ..

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!

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

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

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.

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

I hope you read this comment, just to say that im just after discovering you, i really LOVE your videos and your recepies look so easy and quick to make but especially delicious! I find you explain so well and i cant wait to buy all my equipement and try your amazing recipies. Thanks again. Chloé x

that eating part is the best!

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

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

Hey Laura. I'm sure I'm one of many who'd requested a butter chicken video, and I think you did a fantastic job, as usual! I really proud too those of other cultures to try new foods like you are. The same way, I try to use your videos to incorporate Italian foods into my indo-Fijian household. Thank you for sharing your always awesome recipes, and to taking your viewers thoughts into consideration!! Keep up the great work! -Ron

You are absolutely over the top with your recipes! I would pay you to be my cook!

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

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

Laura has such AMAZING hair!!!

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

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

i would love to see you make the traditional filipino chicken pork adobo laura!

So happy to see u cooking Indian food

Splendid Laura! Perfect Butter Chicken to go with naan.

make something from the Arabian cuisine

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!

Lauren ur the best cooker

Laura you always make the perfect recipies

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

I am an Indian. loved ur version Laura😘😘

I've made this twice after tonight and each time it's a slam dunk!

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!

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.

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.

really loving your channel.... keep it up...

thank u for teaching me how to enjoy cooking :)

I would love to see a Beef Stroganoff recipe!

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

Laura i just love u!!! I am eating this right now with my family and i am so surprissed with myself!!! I made it and it was so amanzingly delicious that no one could believe i am the one that cooked!! Thank u so much, you make me feel proud of myself! Thank u!

Oh dear that looks authentic and mouth watering

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

fasting my mouth is watering

Please make more Indian inspired videos!! You are awesome!

Indian and my mouth is watering!! been watching you for a few years and love you and your channel! keep it up!!

wow...laura...great to see you cooking Indian recipe...u cooked perfectly....please try some other indian recipes like Buter garlic naan [ Indian flat bread], palak paneer [ indian cheese in spinach sauce....thank you so much for your wonder ful video....

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. :)

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

I've made a hobby of emulating chefs recipes (Ramsey, Flay, etc) and Laura's recipes are, honestly, every bit as good as theirs.

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! :))

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**

I LOVE THIS RECIPE !

Hey Laura... Am Indian.. and I must say I loved your take on this recipe... Hoping to see a lot more in the future!

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.

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 👌

wow,so nice to see you including Indian dishes..:)

Laura you are a pleasure to watch. Can you please have more recipes that can be cooked in a slow cooker? It would be nice to have these recipes and come home every night to a good meal waiting for us. Thanks!

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

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

great job venturing out of your comfort zone!

For years, every recipe I've cooked from your channel has turned out to be out of this world, amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your brilliance and enthusiasm. I'm planning to follow your instructions on making this lovely dish tomorrow night for my lady. BUT... I don't see your recipe for spiced rice! Hopefully you'll be able to do one for your channel soon. Until then, I'll search around for the best recipe. But I would prefer one from you! :)

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

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!

This is surprisingly absolutely authentic..... This coming from an Indian of course!!!!

Can't wait to try this!

You should make gulab Jamun which is a Indian dessert

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.

I am a pakistani wife in ireland,cook for my husband, everytime,curries n Flat breads(roti)n concerning butter chicken u did a really great job my dear laura,for someone from italian to indian food,u need a pat on the shoulder,please continue make us happy.love u.

that looks so good better than restaurant food

Girl, is there anything you can't cook?

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

Looks easy and delicious! What this channels all about :) thanks again Laura.

this is the first main course dish i made and it turned out wonderfully! thank you for this easy recipe

Laura u got it rite !! ;)

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.

i just found ur channel n i loved the way u enjoy ur cooking

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!

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

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.

More inspired Indian food coming from an Indian! Great job Laura!

I adore you laura & was so excited to see an indian recipe.i love your version.lots of love from India ❤️❤️

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

How about some lebanese food??? Try doing kebbe for example

The perfection with which u cooked indian food, which BTW is pretty complex, gives ne the sense that every other thing that u cook truely must be gorgeous in taste. Kudos to you!

i am punjabi and this is how we make it :) but we add some turmeric powder just for more colour :D great video!!!

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

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..

My best friend who's Indian, would be proud it looks amazing can't wait to make this !

I'm from india , I'm v happy to see you cooking indian food 😍

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

Can I use korianader in this?

I'm Indian , and you really did a great job !! I love to watch you eating ,its so satisfying :) :) love your videos :)

me being a indian! im very happy to c foreigners trying out our indian dishes !it just makes us feel proud..lovely dish! :* :D
