Thanks for linking the video, and for posting the recipe (which looks very similar to the one I lost). I'm looking forward to trying it soon, it will be a very satisfying meal to make from scratch :-)

Made the videojug butter chicken last night. Skipped toasting the cashews at the end and used chicken breast but otherwise it was the same. Definitely the best home made butter chicken I've had. Not quite as sweet as the Indian restaurants here make it so I may try adding some more honey next time.

There's a butter shortage in Norway??

Yes, due to a very bad summer with too much rain (the cows don't produce as much milk under those circumstances apparently), and a very high demand. It has been sold 1000 tonnes more butter so far this year compared to last year, partly it's because of a Low Carb High Fat hysteria which has been going on this year, as well as an increased interest in cooking from scratch.
Interesting. No, wait, the other thing ... tedious.

Interesting to here what's going on in other parts of the world! Like someone else mentioned, butter chicken doesn't actually use much butter - about 1/4 cup should do it so you should be ok
