Butter Chicken

This recipe is prepared in different ways around the world,and its the most popular dish served in almost all indian restaurents which serves non-veg dishes and is liked by many as this gravy is little sweet,little tangy & little spicy too & is usually served with naan.... so this time i thought of preparing it at home instead of having it outside, and i found this quiet easy to prepare and we all enjoyed having this at home as well, so thought of sharing this recipe with u all too...
