BUTTER CHICKEN 04994

Butter chicken was my introduction to Indian cuisine, some 17-18 years ago. I bought ready made sauce (jarred, from supermarket), and cooked it at home. I tried many brands and some recipes over the years; some of them good, some not so good. Here is one directly from India (slightly adapted) from a lady that I follow
Original recipe on Vimitha's blog.

'Puter piletina' je bilo moje prvo Indijsko jelo koje sam probala, prije nekih 17-18 godina. Kupila sam gotov umak (u tegli iz supermarketa) i skuhala ga kod kuce. Tokom godina sam isprobala mnoge verzije i recepte; neke od njih dobre, neke bas i ne. Evo jednog recepta (malo adaptiranog) direktno iz Indije , od gospodje koju slijedim.
