FAQ
Butter chicken, traditionally known as murgh makhani (pronounced [mʊrɣ ˈməkʰaːni]), is an Indian dish originating in Delhi. It is a type of curry made from chicken with a spiced tomato and butter (makhan) sauce. Its sauce is known for its rich texture. It is similar to chicken tikka masala, which uses a tomato paste.
Unlike most Indian curries where the preparation of the base starts with a blend of onion and a ginger garlic paste cooked in oil, butter chicken uses tomato as a base and is cooked in butter, giving it a slightly sweet flavor. Cashews and almonds add to the sweetness and richness of the dish.
The sauce for chicken makhani is smooth and buttery. It has a slightly sweet flavor profile because it incorporates honey or sugar. The dish is often less spicy than chicken curry, with a milder flavor and reduced heat from the spices. Chicken makhani is typically served with rice or naan.
