Line 12 should read ” Crush the Fried Onions and ADD them to the Chicken,” the word “add” is left out.

Hi,
Will the vinegar make the dish sour? If yes can we skip the step?
Thanks.

Hi Tina,
The vinegar does 2 things, one is that it does give it a little sour taste but the other important thing is that it acts as a marinade and makes the chicken soft. I would not suggest you eliminate the vinegar but reduce it.

Hi Anuja and Hetal
I am an ardent fan of your recipes and check the site everymorning to check for new recipes.Thanks for all the wonderful recipes.
In every video you are using black colored kadhais(deep and round) and skillets and they seem very sturdy with heavy base which is good for Indian cooking.Can you please give me an idea of the brand which you are using and i can look around.
Thanks in advance!!

Hi Hetal & Anuja,
can I use tomato puree instead of crushed tomatoes?
I tried this recipe with fresh tomatoes pureed in mixie.It was too sour.Please suggest alternatives.
Thanks,
Shakuntala

I forgot to add,with the fresh tomatoes,I did not get that color,so I added 2tbsp.tomato paste.That might be the reason for the sour taste.
I’ll try it again.Please suggest the quantity of tomato puree if I can use that.
Thanks,
Shakuntala

Hi Shakuntala,
You can use the same amount of canned tomato puree. The advantage of using the ‘crushed tomatoes’ over the puree is that they have more texture and body and ‘tomato puree’ tends to be smoother sauce. See if you can get your hands on ‘crushed tomatoes’ otherwise use the puree.
Tomato Paste is the concentrated version and I am sure that made your dish sour. Also, be careful not to over do the vinegar, that is another souring agent in this dish.

Hi Anuja & Hetal,
I noticed this website recently.I tried the butter chicken recipe exactly how u explained and it turned out to be a great hit.Now i really want to try this recipe but have some doubts
1. If i use a pinch of tandoori masala instead of peprika will it alter the taste?
2.If u could make the ‘Fried onions ‘ part clear..how did u make it?

Hi Roshan,
Paprika is dried red bell pepper powder. It provides color without the heat of red chili powder.
