- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
- salt
- oil (or butter or ghee to baste while grilling)
- 3/4 cup plain yogurt (strained/hung or use 1/2 cup Greek yogurt)
- 1 1/2 tsp. kasuri methi (or dried fenugreek leaves)
- 1 tsp. turmeric
- 1 tsp. Garam Masala (homemade or store bought may be used)

- 4 green cardamoms
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 2 cloves
- 1 black cardamom
- 3/4 tsp. methi (or fenugreek seeds)
- 3 1/2 cups tomato puree (fresh tomatoes or canned tomatoes, reduce the amount a little bit here as the water content will be less as compared to the fresh)
- 1 Tbsp. red chili powder (or cayenne pepper/paprika or to taste)
- 10 almonds (soaked, peeled and made into a paste)
- 1 tsp. garam masala
- 1 Tbsp. kasuri methi (or dried fenugreek leaves, very lightly toasted on a dry skillet and crushed)

Although I used three recipes to ensure I got all the required ingredients, I felt like your directions on how to cook the meal were the best. Thank you so much for guiding me in the best butter chicken ever. It was so freakin decadent I’ll only cook it once in a blue moon :)
