That was what i call rapid feedback mate.  So glad you enjoyed it Garp.   The due diligence was down to the niece.  I was just the go between, otherwise known as the cook  :

That's butter chicken or Murgh Makhani that is!
Certainly if I'd just looked at the recipe without reading the thread title that's what I would have declared anyway.

Mmm, didn't i say that in my opening post SS.  At the time I was working on the patala, it was long before i'd even discovered the other two dishes mentioned  though.

It most likely has its roots here and probably goes by a different name and could easily be related to butter or makhani chicken or even the Punjabi masala.

Made this exactly as to spec as per the ingredients and method.
I used JB's base(slightly modified), abduls 8 spice & Pat Chapmans tandoori mix.
Bit of a faf but worth it.

Accompanied by a fragrant mushroom,onion & garlic fried pilau.

very tasty... nice one CH

Glad you enjoyed it ZC. PC's tandoori masala takes some beating.  Just doing a batch of jb's base now.  Looking forward to the results  You could share your rice recipe though

Cheers CH.

Just want to add that I made 3 portions of this and took 2 down the pub for a couple of friends and It went down a storm.. A really tasty,  moorish curry that will be a regular I think

I would recommend anyone thinking about making it to go ahead and have a crack at it

Made this with some other dishes on Tuesday and it was really good for the milder curry lovers. I mixed some of the leftovers in with some leftover Madras sauce and it was even better the next day for lunch. I'll be revisiting this next year vindaloo hot. Cheers for the recipe .

Glad you enjoyed it fried.  And it obviously has potential to be developed further
