Details and Ingredients

Butter Chicken is prepared by marinating succulent chicken pieces in a blend of yogurt, lemon juice, and spices like garam masala, turmeric, and cumin. The marinated chicken is then grilled or pan-seared to lock in its juices before being simmered in a luscious sauce made from ripe tomatoes, butter, cream, and a hint of kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves). The result is a silky, orange-hued curry with a perfect balance of sweetness, tanginess, and mild heat.

Garnished with fresh cilantro and a drizzle of cream, Butter Chicken pairs wonderfully with fluffy naan, jeera rice, or fragrant basmati rice. This iconic dish embodies the warmth and richness of North Indian cuisine, making it a favorite for family gatherings or a cozy night in.
