This delicious but the ingredient list looks incomplete. I don't see "BUTTER" or margarine anywhere, which would obviously needed in butter chicken.

No, butter. It's the Indian name of this dish called Butter chicken. :)

I think she is using olive oil instead of butter.

Here is a version that I posted a few years ago that includes butter. So delicious!
