Not many people know this but Butter Chicken was actually created in Delhi in the 1950's as a way to use up leftover tandoori chicken and its resting juices. Contrary to belief, it also wasn't made with a touch of cream. This is my version of butter chicken, inspired by the original recipe, just altered to work in your kitchen.
