The summers have officially began. And most of us have got summer breaks,many are out with their families and some homies like me are catching up with friends and families.

We,friends decided to have potluck party and the non - vegetarian part was left to me. So I decided to make some dish,which was easy to make and I am well - versed with. So Chicken makhani is the first thing that came to mind.

Many create this recipe in the sweeter version like Butter Chicken,but I decided to make it the spicier version,we usually see this version with our neighbouring countries like Pakistan and Shrilanka,do try this style too,you will like it.
