Had a butter chicken 2 days ago and it was delicious, now i understand why people mad at jamie.

I'm a chef with 30 years experience in the industry. Here's my take on Jamie Oliver and dishes like this. He comes off like he's done little to no research on the dishes he's preparing when it comes to "ethnic" cuisines(Asian, south Asian, Italian) and just plunges on ahead with his own idea of what those dishes/cuisines should be. This is really an old school way of doing things that was a hallmark of the late 90s/early 00s Food Network era cooking. There was a lot of interest in multicultural cooking back then, but there was also a lot of whitewashing. That doesn't fly nowadays in a world where savvy enthusiasts have access to vast amounts of knowledge and cultural exposure and are looking for authenticity in the foods they consume and prepare. It shows up personalities like Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay as dated and out of touch. No disrespect to either chef; they both hustled hard to build their fortunes. And I'm all for making a dish your own way if that's the way you love it, but if you're going to put yourself out there and say "This is how you make this", then these days I think there's a lot of responsibility to be well researched and, if you aren't going for authenticity, you should at the very least cite your reasons for why you aren't doing 'traditional dish x' the way it's supposed to be done.

@ChefJamesMakinson

Yes, I agree with you. With the amount of money that is involved with making any of these videos, you would like that someone would do a bit of research beforehand. It's not like someone making a video just for KZread that's not famous. I grew up watching Ramsey and Jamie, I would have to say that after working for Ramsey chefs the food that we made in London had nothing to do with authenticity. We did mostly French and Italian cuisine mixed with English. However, it was delicious and made a name for one of the top restaurants in London.

He has multiple series dedicated to travelling through one country at a time and really learning and embracing their cooking techniques and not in the white washed bs televised version but he really wants to learn. I highly encourage you go see some of his work, because people forget that yes Jamie Oliver and Gordan Ramsay are both TV cooks, one of them had a 3 star resturant before becoming famous on tv. Ramsay is a true cook at heart.

@RurouTube

I don't really have any major problem with someone like Gordon Ramsay. When he did his own take of a food, at least he got the basic right. With Jamie tho... I feel like he need to learn more. Like adding that much water to the sauce or to a fried rice, just squeezing the tomato, 10min marinate, making ramen using soba, etc. The resulting dishes probably still taste good, but it can be a lot better if he actually know what he is doing and do more research. So basically, unlike Gordon, there are something that I would actually consider wrong with Jamie's cooking even if it is his own take of a certain dish and if people followed his recipe, they will not get the best version of the dish from that recipe, far from it.

@brancorocks

Totally agree with your points about how it's an old school way of thinking but in Gordon's defense he actually puts in an effort at times when it comes to multicultural cuisines it might be just for the sake of profit no idea about the ins and outs of being a celebrity chef but I respect Gordon because of the effort and research he puts in when it comes to Indian cuisine atleast from what I have seen over the years

Chef James and Uncle Roger hit on a theme about cooking dishes from other cultures that I've also learned from Italian cooking (see Italia Squisita) and French cooking (watching classic Julia Child vids): The names of the dishes actually mean something--a traditional, specific, actual recipe. In the US (I'm American) and perhaps the UK, there's a newer tradition of fusion and constantly modifying dishes that is a contradiction to traditional cuisines. My takeaway is that it's okay to modify a dish, but just don't call it the traditional name (e.g., Butter Chicken is Butter Chicken; Spaghetti Carbonara is Spaghetti Carbonara--NO CREAM; instead just call it "a chicken dish inspired by butter chicken" or "pasta inspired by spaghetti carbonara"); it's like telling an American your cooking a cheeseburger and then pan-frying tofu or turkey and topping with cheese and placing in a bun; almost no American would recognize it as a true cheeseburger. Otherwise, none of us learn what the traditional dish is actually supposed to look and taste like.

"This is his take, it's for him and his family" I'd agree, except this was broadcast by the BBC under the guise of "professional cook" status.

The end result is a healthy portion of viewers thinking that butter chicken doesn't need butter, the chicken can be breasts, the seeds should be popped out of the peppers, etc. All I'm saying: dude sets a bad example for people genuinely interested in IMPROVING their cooking.

Uncle Roger once fought an AI in an egg fried rice recipe. And he won. Naturally he knows how to make Asian food, and he just wants the authenticity of the food to remain. He doesn't want a chef class who should be able to try to make exactly the same dish, to be the exact opposite and to make matters worse, mess him up. But I salute the several chefs he has roasted, actually met and learned from him. They got better and Uncle Roger will always be like that.

As an Indian vegetarian, usually Paneer(cottage cheese) is a replacement for any meat.. charring paneer will do.. Don't have to charr tomatoes.. and no need to remove skin.. you sauté onions, ginger-garlic paste, chillies, spices, chopped tomatoes and let it cook down until soft and then grind it and sieve it to get smooth creamy paste.. And no turmeric in the marinade.. hayya...

I finally tried making my own butter chicken not too long ago, everything from scratch. Highly recommend anyone to try a proper yogurt marinade with 12+ hours given before using, the results are absolutely worth it.

I've been a mid level chef for 20 years. Everything from dishwasher to sous chef. Every chef I know, will look at a recipe and tweak it. Add their own spin. But! If it's the national dish of your own home country, sticking to the main ingredients would be a helpful first step. Chicken breast--lots of restaurants use the breast only, so I can see this in a restaurant revamp, but for a home cook....a pak of chicken legs is cheaper than breasts. Butter-- come on. At least add in a good quality butter, if not clarified butter, or ghee. (It's still Indian...) Chilis-- Here, make it to the palates of your guests. (I'd still add at least 5 times the amount that Jamie did. It's the reason it's in a cream sauce. Marinade-- Enough said. (Yogurt does have the enzymes which will help break down the chicken, which will tenderize the meat....overnight, not 10 min) Rice--Basmati. Nuff said. That's my take. If I was to enhance this dish in any way, it would be to switch out the chicken for duck (NOT breast!!) Or even game hen halves. It's a tweak, not a rewrite.

Me and my parents make butter chicken quite a lot, we seldom prepare the marinade and chicken beforehand, but we put a lot of yoghurt in the marinade which also allows for some extra creaminess in the finished product, but it gets to marinate for about 20 minutes before going into the pot. Then we make the makhani sauce separate and add it to the pot after the chicken is finished cooking.

Honestly, to me Jamie Oliver is like the greatest comedian in History. Most of his cooking videos make me laugh so hard I nearly choke to death... However, love your insights regarding the dishes.

Something i have found works pretty well when you do not have a tandoor oven handy is to use a deep tray with an airing rack in the oven to cook your chicken skewers. Just crank up the temperature to 250C and cook them for about 6-8 minutes.

To be fair, this isn't his wheel house. He's a classically trained french chef. What he's famous for isn't the book versions of classic dishes though. He's from england and some of the stuff that grows in southern france doesn't grow in england. Can't be sourced locally, especially back when he was starting to gain recognition. So his claim to fame is working around what can be found in england to create something new, a blend of english and french. To Jamie everything is malleable to what you can get. That's really his style. French underpinned cooking techniques married to whatever can be easily found. Nothing is traditional, but everything is recognizable. Oh, and why the english like him so much is he heavily changes dishes from home use to his restaurants. Stuff like this is simplified to what can be found at a local corner grocery store or shop from what he'd serve in one of his places. He makes a strong demarcation between the two. He's got videos of what his restaurants recipes are like, and they're another world of complexity. Jamie was one of the first to get on TV and be, "Look, this is what to do if you've got 10 minutes on a weeknight and want something great.", instead of, "This is going to take hours.".

Especially here where JO makes it perfectly clear that it is just his version of the dish, the only way for him to get actual cooking legitimacy would be for him to cook the dish and taste it before judging the results. Not that Jamie comes up with a great deal of nonsense here and there, but I mean let's face it, nobody here would chuck anything he made because chances are, all of it is still really good. He is right about some things, but he is just milking some needless nuances for his routine too. Like, people complain about chickpeas in rice, but what with it being an actual dish and having a pretty good idea of what it would taste like... why the hell not? I'd rather have someone have me come up with neat ideas for a dish than drill old, established wisdoms into my head about dishes I already know or can just look up, even if it ends up coming out mediocre.

I am an Indian, and honestly, the recipe doesn't sound half bad. _As long as I think of it as a "British curry" and not "Indian" or "butter chicken"_ Except the massive amounts of water he poured in - it sounds like a decent enough British curry. The charred tomatoes and chillies would introduce some of the same smokiness to the dish that you would get from chicken cooked in a tandoor. I would probably char them on an open flame though. There's nothing fundamentally wrong about cooking with a chutney - achari chicken/paneer/ is a legit thing in restaurants in India, it's just the thing is too bloody strong for a _butter_ chicken. Cashew butter is just shelf stable cashew paste. Together they can balance out the acidity of tomatoes nicely. The chicken breast isn't my favourite cut, but it's very British/western and with enough rich gravy slathered on, it'll be juicy enough. All in all, not a bad recipe at all - it's just not _butter_ chicken.

Jamie’s not making it for his family. He’s making millions of pounds selling his recipes and lies to us all

My heart goes out to the people who ate it and now will remember butter chicken in this way…. forever.

Awesome! Thank you!

Part of cooking is economics, you adapt the food to what's available, and you prepare food that fits the local taste if you're selling something. Flour Tortilla is just as "authentic" as corn tortilla if you understand that it was originally a regional thing, but when it comes to "making your take" it has to make sense why you are substituting ingredients and they should relate to each other for example replacing pine nuts in pesto with almonds. Pine nuts cost an arm and a leg and are a sort of nutty protein. Honestly, I would have been happy if Oliver at least demonstrated a base understanding of the original recipe, you're supposed to do X but I am doing Y. If people follow his take they come out misinformed on what Buttered Chicken and how it suppose to taste.

Regarding tandoori chicken sans grill or tandoor, you can just broil the chicken in your oven on high, making sure the meat is on the top rack. You're looking for the yogurt to just begin to char, then turn it over. Make sure to tent the meat and let it rest for a few minutes before you do anything with it!

Thanks for all the insight! I'd love to learn to cook more and better dishes. The funny thing is, today, because I was lazy (didn't want to wash my air fryer by hand), and I had fries lying around. I put a little bit of vegetable oil in a pan. I added some spices from a rib spice mix that's sold around here during Christmas times. Chopped a clove of garlic and added that to the hot pan towards the end; honestly, some of the best fries I've had in a while. Instead of all this extra stuff Jamie does in these videos, just adding one or two ingredients can change so much (of course, garlic adds a *ton* of flavor to something as mild as potatoes). Maybe fries (although these aren't supposed to contain anything other than, well, potato) and oil isn't all that healthy for you, but something as simple as adding just a little bit of spices and some garlic elevated the otherwise kinda boring fries to eleven. I do like to dice potatoes and put them in the oven, coated in a little oil and spice, too. Don't know if that's a lot healthier than fries or not, but wow, is it delicious.

“How fancy does your rental studio need to be for just one video?” British Celebrity Chefs/BBC: *Y E S*

I'm convinced this is either a piss-take from Jamie or he's so completely obsessed with his image that he can't bring himself to put something as unhealthy as butter in his butter chicken (after notoriously attempting to nuke unhealthy school dinners in the 'Jamie's Dinners' series). The addition of chick peas in his rice points to the latter. It's also possible that after years of having his ego massaged, years of commercial sponsorship with his name on everything from knives to pestles and mortars, and with everyone telling him how great he is - it's possible that he genuinely thinks that his way is best, and tradition be damned. I don't know the guy but it's hard to respect recipes like this when he doesn't at least open with a disclaimer that they are not in any way traditional and that it's just a dish his kids like. I'm all for folk adapting their recipes however they please, but people will - rightly or wrongly - trust the food from celebrity chefs like Jamie as a good starting point when learning to make butter chicken. For this reason they are going to end up with a completely inauthentic experience, so it's good that people are calling him out for things like this.

I think a lot less people would be bothered by Jamie Oliver if he were just a bit more accurate with what he was trying to accomplish, rather than marketing it as closer to what the traditional dish actually is, or pretending like you don’t have to take care of what you actually put into your dishes. I just worry that some poor viewer would make a genuine mistake in believing the dish they’re making is anything similar to what it’s supposed to be, and it offends or puts someone off.

The best recipe I ever tried for murgh makhani was by Harpal Singh Sokhi. Although when I make it now I cheat by using passata rather than cooking out the tomatoes (it's way faster and easier, and frankly the tomatoes we get here in the UK are garbage, so tinned Italian passata is actually better). About the only thing Oliver got right was the garam masala. The main thing that's missing, other than the obvious lack of any actual butter, is mirch, a.k.a. Kashmiri red chilli powder (the proper mild variety, not the variety grown in the Punjab). The ginger and garlic is also supposed be be ground to a paste, or simply bought as a paste, otherwise the makhani gravy won't be smooth. Unless he's going to blend and pass the gravy, which he didn't. And yeah, the chicken is meant to be tandoori chicken, on the bone. Sokhi's recipe uses a slurry (not quite a roux) of gram flour, added to the curd marinade and other spices, and the addition of mustard powder. It does make a difference, as does the green cardamom and blades of mace in the makhani gravy. The result is sublime, easily one of the best dishes in the world. Contrast that with Oliver's plate of ... God knows what it is. It looks bloody awful. I get that everyone has different tastes, but Oliver just doesn't seem to understand food at all, which is pretty astonishing given how much influence he has.

I'd like an Indian chef do a blind tasting of Jamie's dish and then guess based on personal experience and palate what it is.

Its always so weird to me that people like jamie and gordon make food like this. They have travelled the world, they know they are doing it wrong, they just dont seem to care.

It's a remnant of the 90s-2000s way of "multi cultural" cooking, where a lot of it is just British or American (depending on where it's being made, of course) food, with slight hints of the other culture(s). These chefs are just out of touch.

That "butter chicken my kinda way" is a lie tho, there is no butter at all in the dish. so its more like "slightly spiced yogurt chicken with tomato gravy" dish, Jamie Oliver way.

Seeds also don't contain the spice (capsaicin) that belongs to the membranes surrounded the seeds (seed pods)
