@chef brain tsao, canned tomatoes don’t give the same flavour as the fresh ones do, and he is not blending the spices because they can become overpowering in the gravy, he just lets the spices flavour get infused with the gravy, and again in the pan he add the chilly powered and coriander powder to le the rawness of those spices to mellow down and smell fragrant( when spices are raw they taste very different, when toasted in any oil or butter they have a diff flavour slightly nuttier)..

In India we don't really get a lot of canned tomatoes in the market. We can find tomato puree but it's not as good as freshly made. We don't really have a lot of canned fruits or veggies. Also ranveer did not super blend the whole spices cause they leave a slight bitter taste. Nice video chefs ❤

Chef Ranveer Brar is one of the most famous chefs in India. What's interesting is that he always talks about the dish's history. Most Indian dishes have the same kind of spices. But depending on when those spices are added to the dishes, the flavour and the intensity keeps changing.

>Chef Ranveer Brar is one of the most famous chefs in India. I can see why. Not only does he seem to really know his stuff, he's a natural showman.

Here in India, tomatoes are primarily used as a souring agent. Our tomatoes are very rarely the really sweet ones which Italian and other cuisines rely on. Hence, across India, tomatoes provide the acidity and in form the base of the gravy along with onions and ginger and garlic. Since we don't care about sweetness of tomatoes, we don't really have the concept of canned tomatoes and can use whatever tomatoes are available all year round. (Also, canned tomatoes will be more expensive than fresh ones). Hence people questioning you about using canned tomatoes - but you can ignore them as anyone deviating from the 'tradition' in an indian recipe will on cue bring out a herd to complain. I have used leftover Italian canned tomatoes for some of these richer curries - the result is not quite the same, but always still delicious.

A little quick info for @ChefBrianTsao and Frenchie: What you guys know as ghee is actually a hack. Unfortunately, it's the quick way to make ghee and that is what most people do now. True ghee is made by these steps: 1. Take high fat milk. 2. Make yogurt from the milk. 3. Blend the yogurt until it separates and you get cultured butter. 4. Let it ferment a bit more for a few weeks until it is just short of rancid. 5. Make ghee from the cultured butter. Ideally, the process of making ghee in the final step should make you really pinch your nose. However, the final product is unbelievably more delicious than the shortcut ghee/clarified butter.

Indians dont use or even mostly don like the sweetness of ripe tomato. Its rather used to give a sour and acidic content. When I tried using canned tomotoes, they give weird sweetness which maybe caters to English people but not so much to Indians.

The impression I've always gotten is that the second batch of spices is intentionally getting toasted in that butter, while the first round of spices goes in with the tomato and onion and all that liquid really keeps it from getting toasted. And that that toasting is the reason for doing a second round of spices.

Buying canned goods in India is almost always a bad idea. Who needs that processed garbage in a can nobody touches when you can get it fresh from the sabziwala just a short walk from your doorstep 🤣

Btw the Chilli powder used here is *Deggi chilli powder* or *Kashmiri red chilli powder*. It's NOT that spicy but add perfect colour to the gravy. And no, in India, we DON'T have the tradition to use canned vegetables for anything. India is vegetables Paradise...its quite cheap here. Also, we have this culture of using seasonal vegetables..not stored. That's why using Canned vegetables is very rare here.

Two things about this as an indian and a big fan of you guys, he strained it to make it more velvety, and while peanuts are more common worldwide to use for this recipe, the more common indian ingredient ti use is cashew nuts, he didn't add it for people who have nut allergies to avoid it if I'm not wrong, using cashew nut paste decreases the need to use cream by a certain amount.

I love the springboarding around this butter chicken video. I especially love the idea of serving grilled cheese sandwiches with either the butter chicken dish or its sauce alone. I also liked the different ideas of serving the butter chicken in sandwich form. This is what I love best in the reactions to good food videos that you have over other people’s food reaction videos. You are the only ones who springboard, and explore other food ideas. You now need to take the next step and make videos of some of these ideas.

please do more Chef Ranveer Brar videos Ghee is a type of clarified butter. It's more concentrated in fat than butter because it doesn't contain water or milk solids. It has been used in Indian and Pakistani cultures for thousands of years. Here are 15 amazing benefits of ghee are: 1. Has Healthy Fats 2. Helps Digestive System 3. Strengthens Immune System 4. Source of Essential Vitamins 5. Anti-inflammatory and Anti-cancer 6. Boon for Lactose Intolerant 7. Treats Burns 8. Healthy Skin 9. Thicker Skin 10. Strengthens Bones 11.

Why not? Everything can be questioned.

There used to be a restaurant called Taj Mahal in Lincoln Nebraska that would do "Indian Burritos" putting rice and curry into extra large roti/naan. Phenomenal idea and it used to be one of my favorite restaurants. It ended up burning down around 2017 I want to say, but much respect to that chef. I hope he's doing well.

[03:33] So Ghee essentially is made from Milk and no animal fat is used throughout the process. There are commercial/industrial versions of Ghee available in India, but the purest form of ghee, made in the traditional way called "Bilona method" is called Desi Ghee. Desi ghee has lot of health/medical advantages, and used in cooking as well directly pouring over like butter on Chapatis, Paranthas, Dals (Lentils), Curries etc. To get more detailed information you may find videos on KZread for "Bilona method desi ghee".

Ranveer makes a great opening with his relaxed confidence, then you see how didactic he is and how thoroughly he researched the dish, making you confident its going to turn out delicious. The final dish looks amazing.

There is a wonderful Indian restaurant near me that has some fusion dishes you would likely enjoy: Chicken Tikki Tacos, Butter Curry Enchiladas, and Loaded Masala Fries

I believe it is very important when we are talking about food from another culture is to learn how to make that particular dish authentically from a person OF the culture it originated from.

there's this thing about coriander powder, if you overcook it, it turns a bit bitter, therefore certain ingredients/spices are added at specific times during cooking. and yes, adding cashew paste is also a common practice in butter chicken preprations.

He didnt mean that you require Tandoori chicken. He was telling that this is something you can do if you find that you have tandoori chicken remaining from the previous day

Cashews are an alternative to magaz seeds (melon seeds). Originally melon seeds are used to thicken up and make sauces creamier. However, cashews are more commonly available in households, cashews can be used.

TBH i don't think grilled cheese will be good, there are too many flavor layers in that butter chicken. You just won't taste the grill cheese over all that flavor from the butter chicken. The one part Brian cut out was the 1 drop of rose water. A good butter chicken is always a multi layered flavor bomb that you basically eat it with rice or naan. One thing i can see butter chicken being made into is a fusion Italian dish like a pizza, which they do have in California. I think it would work well on a fusion lasagna as well.

So I use fresh tomatoes for my butter chicken because my fiancee has GERD, and tomatoes are actually a trigger for her. BUT, there's a fun trick you can do where you add a pinch of baking soda to the gravy and it reduces the acidity in such a way that she can eat it. If you use canned tomatoes or tomato paste, the tomatoes are so old that the baking soda completely nukes the tomato flavor, but fresh allows you to keep that delicious tomato flavor while reducing the acidity for people with sensitivities. Then you just exclude chili powder and have some hot stuff on the side to be added to individual bowls, such as mine because I love spicy food. It's definitely not a traditional butter chicken, but it accomplishes the goal in such a way that people with acid sensitivity can eat it.

This is cool to know. Thank you!

Indian food is all about layering of flavors. Roast dry spices, grind them. On oil, add onions, garlic, ginger and spice powders and then develop that, wait till oil comes out to the top and add dry spices, curd or other stuff and at last add the marinated meat or veggies or cheese, whatever. A couple layers of flavors developing adds that depth. In case of much simpler recipes that we often cook at home, like for example, dal, its easy. Boil dal in salt, turmeric. Then add oil to a new pan, add at most 3-4 spices (most common are bay leaves, red chillies, wild celery seeds, mustard seeds - especially if there is raw mango in the dal etc), add the boiled dal, add sugar and salt and at the end a little bit of ghee.

Highly recommend you guys do a vlog series trying the foods you react to! Especially want to see your reaction to South Indian food 👀

Omg that looks so good!! Like the switch up to Indian cuisine 😊 he just forgot the grilled cheese lol!

Gotta say, I really enjoyed these videos before Frenchie, but I cannot get enough of this duo. Thanks Chef.

Actually there is grilled cheese form for butter chicken- which is butter paneer. Paneer is indian cheese.

Alex was going to make a rotisserie chicken series, but he stopped half way in. Which is sad because I was really looking forward to it. My roasted chicken turns out nice, but there is a lot of space for improvement.

Thanks for the tip on separating and storing my rendered fat!! Never thought about adding water and turning it upside down to remove the bits of stuff. Game changer Chefs.

One of my fav PDX restaurants is a Pizza & Wings place, with Indian fusion (So tandoori wings and butter chicken pizza etc). Absolutely amazing and a great choice when you arent sure what you want for dinner.

That dipping sauce idea reminds me that I used to dip grilled cheese in rasam, a hot and sour tomato soup that mulligatawny is based on. It was pretty awesome, but these days I can't make it without pissing off my neighbors and roommates.

The chili powder, a little bit of coriander powder in heated ghee was tempering. That layer of flavour would be missing if he didn't do that because he didn't temper the spices in the tomato and onion sauce he started with. Tempering is king in south asian cuisine. That is how we finish a lot of foods, from gravies/curries to daals to even some rice dishes, but sometimes it is just used as a flavouring layer too, like here.

Butter Chicken Arc in the future?? Hell Yeah!! Go for it!!!

Sir that guy is the judge of MasterChef India not a contestant a judge 😂😂

Most the spices used in Indian cooking especially North Indian cooking are dry spices unlike US which prefer fresher spices. So! Something like Cinnamon or Bay Leaf or Black Cardamonn is the removed before blending to remove that bitterness from the dish. Also! Fenugreek and few other spices that you see are native or indigenious to Indian cookingw which is like Oregano or Parsley is for the west or use of Cayene Pepper or Carolina Reaper in US which is unknown to Indian cooking. We have Bhoot Jholokia as the spiciest chilli . Also! The legend in India is that Butter Chicken was originally made by 2 Chef from Moti Mahal Restaraunt in Daryaganj, now families of both Chef claims it to be their own, and have their own franchise under the name of Moti Mahal and Daryaganj. Where a Chef of Pakistani descent who was cooking in Delhi, had a family come late at his restarunt and he was out of ingredients, so he had some leftover tandoori chicken along with some veggies, he combined those to invent what we call Butter Chicken, and he is also credited with the invention of Shahi Paneer or Paneer Makhani which is replacing Chicken with Paneer or Cottage Cheese which is an Indian style of cheese. Equally flavourful knowing the large diaspora of pure vegetarian of Indians, it is much more famous than even Butter Chicken.

This takes the dish to another level !
