A step-by-step guide to making flavourful, creamy, spicy Chettinad Butter Chicken with authentic masala and rich buttery gravy

 🧈🔥 How to Make Chettinad Butter Chicken — A Flavour-Rich South Indian Delight



🍗✨ 1. Preparing the Chicken Marinade


Chettinad Butter Chicken begins with a deeply spiced, flavour-packed marinade. Cut boneless chicken into medium pieces and rinse well. In a mixing bowl, add thick curd, chilli powder, turmeric, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, salt, and a spoon of Chettinad masala powder. Coat the chicken evenly and rest it for at least 30 minutes. The longer the marination, the richer the final flavour. Chettinad cuisine is known for bold spices, so this step builds the base for a smoky, aromatic gravy.


🥥🌶️ 2. Making the Authentic Chettinad Masala


While North Indian butter chicken uses mild spices, Chettinad masala brings intensity. In a pan, dry-roast fennel seeds, peppercorns, dried red chillies, cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, coriander seeds, cumin, poppy seeds, grated coconut, and curry leaves. Roast until aromatic and golden, then grind into a smooth paste using a little water. This masala paste gives the dish its signature heat and earthy fragrance.


🧈🍅 3. Preparing the Butter-Rich Base Gravy


Heat butter in a pan and add a little oil to prevent burning. Sauté chopped onions until golden. Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté again. Blend tomatoes into a puree and add to the pan. Cook until oil separates. Now add chilli powder, turmeric, coriander powder, and the freshly ground Chettinad masala paste. Let it simmer until the mixture thickens. Add fresh cream to balance the spice and give a buttery richness. The gravy should turn silky, bright, and aromatic.


🔥🍽️ 4. Combining Chicken and Gravy


Pan-fry or grill the marinated chicken until half-cooked. Add these pieces into the simmering gravy. Allow the chicken to absorb all flavours as it cooks fully in the sauce. Add kasuri methi for aroma, a small cube of butter for shine, and adjust salt. Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving, allowing the curries’ flavours to deepen.


🥘💛 Conclusion

Chettinad Butter Chicken is a fusion of traditional Chettinad heat and classic buttery richness. With freshly roasted spices, creamy tomato gravy, and succulent chicken pieces, this dish offers the perfect balance of bold South Indian flavours and comforting creaminess. Serve hot with naan, parotta, or jeera rice for a delightful meal at home.
