Butter Chicken: An Indian Classic

Butter Chicken, also known as Murgh Makhani, is one of North India's best-known dishes. Tender chicken meets a smooth, aromatic sauce.

Traditionally, marinated chicken is cooked and then served in a sauce featuring tomatoes, butter and spices. Recipes vary between kitchens.

Butter Chicken does not have to be fiery. Its appeal comes from the balance of gentle sweetness, acidity, warming spices and creamy texture.

Basmati rice and freshly baked naan are wonderful companions to this classic.
