Butter Chicken, or Murgh Makhani, is one of the most iconic Indian dishes, known for its creamy, mildly spiced tomato-based gravy and tender marinated chicken. It’s rich, indulgent, and full of flavor—perfect with naan or rice.
Origin Butter Chicken
Originating in Delhi during the 1950s, Butter Chicken was invented by chance at the famous Moti Mahal restaurant when leftover tandoori chicken was simmered in a buttery tomato gravy. Today, it’s loved across the world for its luxurious texture and balanced spice.
