This one is somewhat a modified Butter Chicken dish...but pampered with loads and loads of butter to give the chicken a silky touch as it melts in your mouth...so here we go :) :)

13.Black pepper corn - 4 to 5
14.Coriander leaves chopped
15.Salt to taste

Method:

1. Mix milk, cashew, cinnamon, cardamom, pepper corns and cloves in a blender with a little butter to make   a frothy smooth batter.

3. Now add chopped onion slices and stir fry till they become transparent.
4. Add onion, ginger and garlic paste and saute till the colour turns golden.
5. Add chopped tomato pieces and stir till oil separates.
6. Add the chicken pieces and fry till they show a golden tinge.

9.Bring the entire thing to boil.
