Recipe Variants

Also known as Murgh Makhani, Butter Chicken is definitely one of the dishes that has put India on the global food map! Pieces of grilled or tandoori chicken are tossed in a creamy Makhani gravy made with a generous amount of butter (as the name suggests!), giving the dish a lovely smoky flavour. This flavour coupled with the rich and creamy gravy makes this chicken preparation an absolute delight for food lovers all around the world. When you think of Butter Chicken, you might remember your favourite Indian restaurant, but if you get to know the recipe and a few simple tricks, you will realize that it is very easy to make at home. To get an earthy and smoked flavour, gently sauté ½ teaspoon of coriander powder in 1 teaspoon of desi ghee, while making sure not to burn the spice. Pour this over the Butter Chicken, just before serving. Your Dhaba-Style Butter Chicken is ready to serve!
