If you love the rich, creamy, and smoky flavor of restaurant style butter chicken, you are not alone. Butter chicken is one of India's most beloved dishes — and the good news is, you can easily make it at home without any special equipment. In this butter chicken recipe in Hindi-friendly guide, we will walk you through every step so you get that perfect restaurant taste right in your own kitchen, using Sam Masale premium Chicken Masala Powder.

Why Does Restaurant Butter Chicken Taste So Different?

Most people think making restaurant style butter chicken is difficult. The secret is not a fancy technique — it is the right masala blend. Restaurants use a balanced mix of spices that gives butter chicken its signature deep red color, smooth texture, and layered flavor. That is exactly what Sam Masale Chicken Masala Powder is crafted for — to bring that authentic dhaba taste to your home kitchen.

Ingredients You Will Need

Here is a simple list for easy butter chicken at home (serves 4):

For marination:

  • 500g boneless chicken (cut into medium pieces)

  • 3 tablespoons curd (dahi)

  • 2 teaspoons Sam Masale Chicken Masala Powder

  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder

  • 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste

  • Salt to taste

  • 1 tablespoon mustard oil or regular oil

  • Juice of half a lemon

For the gravy:

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1 tablespoon oil

  • 2 medium onions (roughly chopped)

  • 3 medium tomatoes (roughly chopped)

  • 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste

  • 1 tablespoon fresh cream

  • 1 teaspoon kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves)

  • 1 teaspoon Sam Masale Chicken Masala Powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala

  • Salt to taste

  • A pinch of sugar (optional, balances the tomato acidity)

Step-by-Step Butter Chicken Recipe in Hindi Style

Step 1 – Marinate the Chicken

Mix the chicken pieces with curd, Sam Masale Chicken Masala, red chili powder, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, oil, and salt. Coat everything well and let it rest for at least 1 hour. Overnight marination gives the best results.

Step 2 – Cook the Chicken

You can grill the marinated chicken in an oven at 200°C for 20 minutes, or cook it directly in a pan on high flame until slightly charred on the outside. That little charred smokiness is what gives butter chicken its iconic flavor.

Step 3 – Make the Tomato-Onion Base

In a heavy pan, heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil. Add chopped onions and cook until golden. Add ginger-garlic paste and cook for 2 minutes. Then add tomatoes, cover, and cook on medium flame for 10-12 minutes until tomatoes are completely soft.

Let this mixture cool slightly, then blend it into a smooth puree. Strain through a sieve for an extra-smooth, restaurant-style gravy.

Step 4 – Build the Gravy

In the same pan, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Pour in the strained onion-tomato puree. Add 1 teaspoon of Sam Masale Chicken Masala Powder and cook the masala on medium heat for 5-7 minutes until oil separates from the sides.

Add the cooked chicken pieces into the gravy. Mix well and let everything simmer together for 5-6 minutes.

Step 5 – The Final Touch

Lower the flame. Add fresh cream and stir gently. Crush kasuri methi between your palms and sprinkle it in — this step is a game-changer for aroma. Add a pinch of garam masala and adjust salt.

Your restaurant style butter chicken is ready!

Tips for Perfect Butter Chicken at Home

  • Always strain the gravy. This one step transforms a home-cooked curry into something that looks and tastes professional.

  • Do not skip kasuri methi. It adds that distinctive smoky-sweet aroma that defines butter chicken.

  • Use good quality masala. The difference between an average and a great butter chicken comes down to spice quality. Sam Masale's Chicken Masala Powder uses carefully selected whole spices, ground fresh, with no artificial color or preservatives.

  • Balance the flavors. If the gravy tastes too sour (from tomatoes), add a small pinch of sugar. If it is too spicy, add a little more cream.
