The use of a variety of spices and herbs is characteristic &#8211; cinnamon, curry, saffron, cardamom, coriander, anise, coconut, nutmeg, anise, turmeric&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>40% of the Indian population is vegetarian &#8211; this is entirely due to religion. Buddhism is one of the main religions in the country, and according to\u00a0its teachings, human existence is a series of reincarnations. Behaviour in a given life determines the next rebirth in a higher or lower being. That is why it is possible for every animal to have a human soul. This is also the reason why such a large percentage of the population is following a vegetarian diet that includes traditional Indian bread, nuts, fruits, vegetables, rice, chickpeas,\u00a0all\u00a0sorts of lentils, spinach, potatoes and more. And those who eat meat, most often\u00a0eat lamb and chicken.<\/p>\n<!-- Start GADSWPV-3.9 --><div id=\"ga_os_10859895\" style=\"text-align: center; overflow: visible; visibility: visible;\">\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n     apntag.anq.push(function() {\r\n        apntag.showTag('ga_os_10859895');\r\n        });\r\n<\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br><!-- End GADSWPV-3.9 --><p>This Indian Butter Chicken recipe can be made\u00a0mild or very hot (we like any degree of spiciness), or even without any chilli, everything is according to the chef&#8217;s preference.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7866 size-full\" title=\"Easy Butter Chicken Recipe\" src=\"https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Easy-Butter-Chicken-Recipe.png\" alt=\"Easy Butter Chicken Recipe\" width=\"1136\" height=\"755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Easy-Butter-Chicken-Recipe-150x100.png 150w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Easy-Butter-Chicken-Recipe-200x133.png 200w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Easy-Butter-Chicken-Recipe-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Easy-Butter-Chicken-Recipe-400x266.png 400w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Easy-Butter-Chicken-Recipe-450x299.png 450w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Easy-Butter-Chicken-Recipe-600x399.png 600w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Easy-Butter-Chicken-Recipe-768x510.png 768w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Easy-Butter-Chicken-Recipe-800x532.png 800w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Easy-Butter-Chicken-Recipe.png 1136w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1136px) 100vw, 1136px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"color: #cf5a17;\">Ingredients for 4 portions Butter Chicken:<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"color: #cf5a17;\">Ingredients for the chicken marinade:<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>800\u00a0g chicken breasts<\/li>\n<li>150 g yoghurt<\/li>\n<li>2\u00a0garlic cloves<\/li>\n<li>1 ginger root\u00a0(around 2 cm long)<\/li>\n<li>1\u00a0tbsp lemon juice<\/li>\n<li>1\u00a0tsp paprika<\/li>\n<li>1\u00a0tsp black pepper<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp powdered cardamom<\/li>\n<li>1\u00a0tsp curry spice<\/li>\n<li>1\u00a0tsp hot curry spice<\/li>\n<li>1\/2\u00a0tsp dried chilli flakes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #cf5a17;\">Ingredients for the butter chicken sauce:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">400\u00a0g tinned chopped tomatoes<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">150 ml single cream<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">40\u00a0g butter<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2-3\u00a0garlic cloves<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1\u00a0onion<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1 ginger root\u00a0(around 2 cm long)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1\u00a0tbsp honey<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1\u00a0tsp cinnamon<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1\u00a0tsp powdered cardamom<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1\u00a0tsp black pepper<\/span><\/li>\n<li>1\u00a0tsp dried chilli flakes<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1\u00a0tsp curry spice<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1\u00a0tsp hot curry spice<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1 tsp salt<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #cf5a17;\">Preparation:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dice the chicken breasts.
