Introduction
This is the easiest recipe I've found yet for a really great tasting version of authentic Indian Butter Chicken. I like to call this an Indo-American version because my roots come from India but I was born and raised here in the states so my recipes adapt to both cultures!

I can see this recipe being plain as is, but it makes a fantastic base. I added diced onion, 1/4 t salt, 1/2 t ginger, 1 t each curry, cumin, garam masala, 1 drained can no salt tomatoes. Instead of sour cream, I used Greek yogurt, which curdled... so next time I'll stick to sour cream. Delicious. - 5/21/10

I should edit reciped to say this is the "lazy-man's" rendition of Indian butter chicken. Its meant to be just a quick substitute for the real deal when you're having one of those days where you don't want to take out the cutting board and deal with all that stuff. All your additions are spot on :)

This was very good but also very plain. I had to add lots of different spices and may family doesn't like spicy foods so that gives you an idea of how bland it is as written. I added garam masala, which I think is a blend of Indian spices, and some curry powder, plus some others. We'll make it again - 6/18/09
