Description

Butter Chicken, also known as Murgh Makhani, is a classic and beloved North Indian dish featuring tender chicken pieces cooked in a rich, creamy tomato-based gravy infused with butter, cream, and a blend of aromatic spices like garam masala, cumin, coriander, and fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi). The chicken is typically marinated in yogurt and spices before being grilled or sautéed, which imparts a smoky flavor that complements the luscious sauce. This dish is known for its smooth texture, mildly spiced yet flavorful taste, and vibrant orange-red color. Butter Chicken is often served with naan, roti, or steamed basmati rice and is a staple in Indian restaurants worldwide, cherished for its indulgent, comforting qualities and balanced richness.
