Chicken Makhani ~ Indian Butter Chicken

Chicken Makhani... the first time i heard about this dish was a few years back when my sis came back from her 3-month course in India. She was head over heels with this dish that she almost jump in joy when she managed to find a restaurant in town that serve this dish. Soon the dish becomes our all time family fav! My version of chicken makhani is a little bit sourish and best eaten with cheese kulcha / naan cheese. The combination of creamy cheesy naan and chicken makhani is superb.. do try it .. :)
