Chicken in a spicy and creamy sauce.
Also known as «Chicken Makhani», it is a classic Indian dish with many different versions. This one I have inherited from my grandmother.

This recipe requires ghee, which is clarified butter. Since it allows cooking at higher temperatures than regular butter, ghee is able to enhance the flavour of the spices. It may be homemade or bought at an ethnic market. Alternatively, it may be reaplced by a mixture of butter and oil.

I used melted butter instead of ghee. I also used slivered almonds instead of grinding them. Was delicious.
I always make the recipe as is. I love it.
This was very good, and I will make again. I noticed that the ingredients list slivered almonds, and the directions later say ground almonds. I bought and used slivered almonds which I think is a mistake...!? I will omit the almonds all together next time.
