AuthorNote: Chicken Makhani is commonly known [to Anglo-Indians] as Butter Chicken. Butter Chicken is a bit of a misnomer as the dish traditionally include only a tablespoon or so of butter.

Do-It-Yourself Greek Yogurt: Greek yogurt is super-thick and crewamy but low in fat. It is available in many groucery stores but can be tricky to find in some areas. A reasonable facsimile can be made by lining a colander with a cheesecloth and straining low-fat regular yogurt overnight. Be sure to start with twice as much yogurt as the final product should be because the yogurt will reduce by half.
