Butter chicken is one of the most popular dishes for many Indians when they go to a restaurant. People who crave butter chicken don’t want anyone to change its contours or try anything new. British celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay recently posted a video of his butter chicken recipe but it failed to impress many Indians who called it bland and missing many key ingredients.

The short video shows the onions being sauteed first and then marinated chicken is added with loads of other spices. Ramsay then finished it off with a sprinkle of chopped coriander and presented it with a side of rice. Posted three days ago, the video has received more than 2.5 million views.
