Personal Notes:
Mike found an East Indian cooking school in Calgary and we have thoroughly enjoyed attending Ruby's classes.
Ruby developed all of her recipes and very enthusiastically (and patiently) teaches them to everyone who attends her classes.

This Butter Chicken is the without a doubt the best Butter Chicken I have ever tasted in my entire life. I will never order this dish in a restaurant again because really, nothing can compare to this right here.
