Butter chicken, compared
Make a tableAlmost every butter chicken recipe marinates, and almost none of them count the marinade in the stated time — so the totals below are cooking time, not the time from starting to eating. That is a faithfulness point rather than a criticism: the table reports what each recipe stated, and the gap between those two numbers is the most useful thing on this page.
12 recipes in the library match this dish. Every figure is one the recipe itself stated; where a recipe said nothing, the cell is empty rather than filled in. Each row links to its table, and every table credits and links its source.
