My wife has recently become addicted to a local indian restaurant, and in particular their butter chicken. My only problem is that it gets a little expensive when she wants takeout from there at least once a week. I remeber from a thread a while back that there is quite a bit of interest around here in Indian cooking. Do any of you have a good recipe for butter chicken that you'd be willing to share?

I don't know if this is exactly what you're getting at that restaurant, but there looks to be several variations over at AllRecipes- this was the first one that I hit on:

I haven't cracked the code on Indian Recipes, so I go the lazy route.

Find an Indian Grocery store in your area that carries Pataks. They have a bunch of pastes and sauces that you use for the basis of a bunch of different Indian dishes.

I love to marinade cut up chicken in the hot curry paste with grated ginger and plain yogurt. Then I grill. But the paste according to the directions are delicious.
