on your mark, get set, go...

I have been thinking about blogging for so long but I never stated it as I used to consider it as so uncool. But now I am here and since I am very new  here I don't want to start it wrong so no any serious stuff.I thought for an hour for topic to kick off my blogging career. Than a thought came up and that's why i am start it with cooking. Why not? As long as I love it. So lets start with a recipe of  very famous Indian dish called butter chicken. Its a curry.!!!!!!
The recipe is given here so that while going through it you can realize that it is fairly elaborate,no shortcuts, whatsoever!

Make incisions with a sharp knife on breast and leg pieces of one chicken around 800 gram in weight. Apply a mixture of 1 teaspoon Kashmiri red chilli powder, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and salt to the chicken and set aside for half an hour. Hang 1 cup yogurt in a muslin cloth for 15-20 minutes to remove extra water. Add 1 teaspoon Kashmiri red chilli powder, salt, 4 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, ½ teaspoon garam masala powder and 2 tablespoons mustard oil. Apply this marinade to the chicken pieces and refrigerate for three to four hours. Put the chicken onto a skewer and cook in a moderately hot tandoor or a preheated oven (200°C) for ten to twelve minutes or until almost done. Baste it with butter and cook for another two minutes. Remove and set aside. To make the makhni gravy, Heat 3-4 tablespoons butter in a pan. Add 2-3 green cardamoms, 4 cloves, 6 peppercorns and 1 inch cinnamon. Sauté for two minutes, add 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste and 5 chopped green chillies. Cook for two minutes. Add 2 cups tomato puree, 1 tablespoon red chilli powder, 1/2 teaspoon garam masala powder, salt and one cup of water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for ten minutes. Add 2 tablespoons sugar or honey and ½ teaspoon powdered kasoori methi. Add cooked tandoori chicken pieces. Simmer for five minutes and then add 1 cup fresh cream. Serve with naan or parantha(indian type of bread)
