Butter chicken should taste so sumptuous, so decadent you should feel like a mogul emperor reclining on pillows, surrounded by his/her harem

Of the 50 or so recipes I've seen for butter chicken, I'd have say that although many had variations in ingredients, not one was missing garlic. Not to say that this isn't a delicious recipe. It's just that if one were trying to match their local restaurant, I'd add some garlic - and some other things as well.
