Rich, creamy, and full of flavor, Butter Chicken (Murgh Makhani) is one of India’s most iconic dishes. This classic version takes you back to its roots in 1950s Delhi, where tender marinated chicken was first simmered in a velvety tomato-butter sauce. It’s the perfect balance of heat, spice, and indulgent comfort.
