Steps

1. 1.Marinate the chicken with curd, red chilli powder and salt for 30 min to 1 hr. It's better if you marinate it overnight.
2. 2.Heat oil in a pressure cooker and fry the chicken pieces in medium flame till golden brown.keep the marination aside for the later use. Keep them aside [ for better colour and taste I used 1 table spoon of sugar]. Isn’t they looking like delicious chicken pakodas? !! HE HE
3. 3.Now in the same pan heat oil and 1 table spoon of butter. [Butter has a low burning point that's why it's is necessary to add some oil before adding butter] Now add cinnamon,cloves elaichi, jeera. stir till the aroma comes out. Now add the chopped ginger garlic, onion tomato green chilli and Few cashews. Fry them well till the tomato gets mashy.
4. Now take it into the mixi and do broom broom till a smooth paste. To avoid the noise of the mixi you can papaya ear phones and enjoy your favourite sound track.
5. Now again heat oil and some butter into the cooker and add all the masalas beside the garam masala.Garam masala in the end will give a delicious flavour and aroma to our dish. So let it be preserved for a happy ending. Fry for few minutes in low flame then add the paste and salt.
6. Let the gravy get bubbles and then add the marination of the chicken and 1 cup of water. When it starts boiling add the chicken pieces and the garam masla and cashew and raisins.
7. Now pressure cook it till 5-6 whistles in medium to high flame.
8. Garnish with some fresh cream. This dish tastes yum when served hot. For all my vegetarian friends don’t get dishearted you can make this dish by simply replacing chicken with paneer cubes and rest the same. So enjoy this yummy hot BUTTER CHICKEN with some chappatti,Nun or even with Polao. -ThE HoMeCoOk
