- Once done, remove the chicken in a bowl. The chicken will be semi cooked at this point, do not worry we will cook it later.
- Also while cooking the chicken there might be some burnt pieces of the chicken. You can keep some of them aside and use them in the gravy. They add extra aroma to the dish.

- I like my butter chicken, smooth therefore I prefer straining the mixture. Once straining is done transfer everything to the same pan and turn on the flame and also add the chicken. Cook the chicken till it is completely done and you achieve a thick consistency of the gravy.
- Add the cream and stir. If you feel that the gravy has become too thick, you can add a splash of water or some butter to it.
- Add the kasoori methi at the end and turn of the flame.
- Garnish it with chopped coriander and the remaining cream and serve hot with rice or naan.
