Hi arixjjb
The problem you have is, there are at least 3 kinds of butter chicken sold in British Indian Restaurants.
It depends which Restaurant and what the chef thinks, is "Butter Chicken"
Both Chicken Makhani and Butter Chicken are the same and have similar
ingredients, involving a tomato base, which is derived from a traditional Indian recipe.
Another is Chicken Makhoni which is a rich creamy curry and looks like a Korma.
But is not too sweet, has no tomato and is flavoured with Animal Ghee, Double
Cream, Almond powder and a touch of yoghurt.

Maybe the dish you had in a restaurant was the Makoni version of butter chicken.
Hope this helps

I hate to cast doubt on this, particularly as I have eaten neither, but from a linguistic point of view I would expect Chicken Makhani and Chicken Makoni to be two variant spellings of the same thing.  If you throw the two search terms into Google, there is exactly one hit, in which the author reports "Jillian was particularly fond of her Chicken Makoni (she was skeptical as to whether or not it was the same as her favorite dish, Chicken Makhani, but it was)."

"Chicken Makhani" throws up lots of hits in isolation (46 400 from the U.K alone), whilst "Chicken Makoni" throws up barely 430 worldwide (415 from the U.K.).  On that basis, I do not think there is a lot of evidence to suggest that there really is a separate dish called "Chicken Makoni", despite Chewy's belief that there is.

For goodness sake, the forum Troll strikes again, you really are an annoying
clueless old fart Phil, your probably the reason new members don't post here,
because your always there with some, rubbish comment and conclusion
you've gleaned from search engines.

Tikka Makhoni has been on some BIR's menus for 30+ years
and is how I described it, a rich butter chicken dish without tomatoes.

So arixjjb, like I said, it may have been this dish you tasted in the restaurant!
Makhoni is usually yellow in colour

[Peripatetic Phil]

Why the anger, Chewy ?  Are we not allowed to discuss whether or not Chicken Makhani and Chicken Makoni (your original spelling) or Chicken Makhoni (your revised spelling) are really the same dish ?  If someone were to suggest that there is a dish called Chicken Madros, and you were to find that there were only 450 mentions of it on the web, compared to well over 45 000 hits for Chicken Madras, would you not also suspect that Chicken Madros is either a typo. or an alternative spelling, rather than a different dish ?

Thanks chewytikka.
Translation programs are not good.
I don't understand very well.
makhani = in tomato.
makhoni = no tomato.
I guess you?re right. maybe I ate at a restaurant is makhoni.
I'll find out makhoni.
Thank you for your comment (^ 0 ^)>

OK, I will try to summarise.

ChewyTikka suggested there were two different dishes : Chicken Makhani and Chicken Makoni; he later changed the spelling of Chicken Makoni to Chicken Makhoni.

I searched the web (used Google) to find information on Chicken Makhani and Chicken Mak[h]oni.  Google reported tens of thousands of pages mentioning Chicken Makhani, but fewer than five hundred mentioning Chicken Mak[h]oni.

I therefore believe that there are not two different dishes, but one : a dish that is normally called Chicken Makhani but is sometimes called Chicken Mak[h]oni.  This belief is based on the similarities in spelling, on the very few reports of Chicken Mak[h]oni, and on the fact that the only person (apart from Chewy) to mention both Chicken Makhani and Chicken Mak[h]oni on the same web page also reported that they were identical.  It is worth noting that Chef Harpal Singh Sokhi pronounces the dish "(Murgh) Makhni"; the first vowel is long and stressed, and the second almost silent, so it would be easy to spell "Makhni" as both "Makhani" and "Makhoni" in transliteration ("butter" is "Makhan" in Hindi).

This is not to say that I do not accept Chewy's statement that there are two or more quite different recipes which are sold as "Butter Chicken"; it is just that I do not believe you can tell which is which from the spelling of the name (Makhani/Makhoni/Makoni).  As Shilpa says "There are many different recipes for this dish. Everyone seems to follow their own recipe for it".

I hope this helps : I am afraid I do not speak Korean, although I may have a visitor later this week who will be able to translate for me.
