My 2 star review had nothing to do with the flavor of this dish - the recipe was perfect. I followed it as written and made the mistake of cooking it in my 6 quart crockpot. The condensation of steam from the underside of the glass cover began to fall back into the dish, and when it was finished it was actually watered down to something like an Indian butter chicken soup! So disappointed, as the wonderful spices lost their intensity. I will make this again, but will prepare it and slow cook it in my cast iron enamel pot for a few hours in a 300 oven, and add the yoghurt when the dish is finished. I'm thinking that way I can control the liquid.

This recipe is amazing!! Definitely a keeper. The house smells fabulous all day too. I think it is even better the 2nd day after the flavors have had a chance to meld.

Good recipe! I didn't have cardamom pods nor tandoori masala (used 4 tsp of garam masala instead), and it was fine. Served with white rice. Will put this in the Indian food craving rotation :) Cooked it just under six hours on high, but there's not enough volume in this recipe to tolerate that many hours on high (mine was burnt around the edges -- wasn't home to adjust).

I am Indian, and made this for my American hubby who loves butter chicken. I made it with chicken breasts, which he prefers, and on the stovetop (just simmer for 15-20 minutes once you have everything together) and it came out great. I agree with many others -- a little bland when made as is. But add these two things and you will have a more authentic flavor: 1/4 tsp. red chili powder & 1 tsp dried fenugreek leaves (kasoori methi).

Made this on stovetop, not in slow cooker; also had to sub ingredients. Skinned whole thighs but left bones and didn't cut into chunks. Sauteed onion, garlic and spices as per recipe (used 1 T. canola, 2 T. light butter), then added thighs to pan. In separate pan, simmered coconut milk and 1/2 t. Red Thai curry paste,1/2 can tomato paste, 6 cardamom pods-- then poured over chicken. Didn't use any yogurt. Covered and cooked about 1 and 1/2 hours on low. Delish--was not hot so put more curry paste in if it you things hot. Spices blended beautifully---fragrant and tasty!

after all the work to get the ingredients, this was a bit of a letdown. I added the yogurt at the end as others suggested and it totally overwhelmed the flavors. I used non-fat mountain high plain active yogurt which is pretty tart, and the whole thing ended up tasting very tart. i'm going to try to other easy butter chicken recipe on this site next.

Having tried this recipe, I definitely would prefer to cook this dish stove top. The texture of the chicken after it has been slow cooked like this is not something I prefer. However, it was overall a good dish. I had to add some more spices because it was a tad bland for my taste. I'm not taking stars off because of that though because I didn't have the cardamon and did not add it. That might have something to do with it. I'll go with stove top next time.

This was a good overall recipe, although I did find the 15 green cardamom pods a little over-powering. I used hot curry spices and pastes. I did have problems finding the tandoori masala, so I made my own. http://allrecipes.com/personalrecipe/63077657/tandoori-masala-spice-mix/detail.aspx
