Butter Chicken

Butter chicken, also known as murgh makhani, is a popular dish originating from North Indian cuisine. It features tender pieces of chicken cooked in a creamy, mildly spiced tomato-based sauce. The sauce is enriched with butter, cream, yogurt, and a blend of spices such as garam masala, cumin, coriander, and fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi). The chicken is typically marinated in yogurt and spices before being grilled or roasted to enhance its flavor and tenderness. Butter chicken is known for its velvety texture and rich taste, often served with rice or naan bread, making it a beloved dish in Indian restaurants worldwide.
