Butter chicken

Butter chicken, also known as Murgh Makhani, is a rich and creamy North Indian dish loved for its smooth texture and mildly spiced flavor. Tender pieces of chicken are first marinated in yogurt, lemon juice, and spices, then cooked in a clay oven or pan until slightly charred. The chicken is then simmered in a luscious gravy made with butter, fresh cream, tomatoes, and a blend of aromatic spices like garam masala, cumin, and fenugreek leaves. The result is a velvety, mildly tangy, and buttery curry with a hint of sweetness. Served best with naan, roti, or steamed basmati rice, butter chicken is a classic comfort dish that’s popular worldwide.
