I got this off the internet a few years ago. It is now my youngest son(a chef in Melbourne)'s requested dish when he's at home. So I guess to him it's major comfort food!

This was so good and surprisingly simple to make. I have always been worried that I can't make an acceptable curry dish from scratch, but this was delicious. We didn't add the almonds because we didn't have any, and I added a little more butter to give it a richer flavor . Other than those two changes, we left the recipe alone (for once). The longest part of the recipe was slicing the onions into thin bits, but I'm not even sure if that was needed.

    We really enjoyed this. I made it on a cold rainy night and it was perfect. Neither of us had ever had butter chicken before so we are going to be making this again and trying our own touches on it.

    We loved this chicken. The flavors all together were beautiful, but not too rich. I liked the yogurt instead of sour cream. It was very easy to put together, and it made a lovely meal. I will be using this one again.

    DH and I both enjoyed this very much. I used thighs and legs, removed the skin and bone and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 45 minutes. The chicken was tender, and the sauce was superb. I served this with oven roasted potatoes. Will definitly keep this one habdy! Thanks a bunch Jan!
