Butter chicken, also known as murgh makhani, is a popular Indian dish made with chicken in a creamy tomato-based sauce. It is a mild curry that is often served with rice or naan bread.
The chicken is typically marinated in a mixture of yogurt, spices, and lemon juice before being cooked in a tandoor (clay oven). The sauce is made with tomatoes, butter, cream, and a variety of spices, including garam masala, turmeric powder, and chili powder. The sauce is then thickened with cashews or almonds and simmered until it is smooth and creamy.
Butter chicken is a relatively easy dish to make, and it can be made in a variety of ways. Some people prefer to use a crockpot or slow cooker to cook the chicken, while others prefer to cook it in a skillet or oven. The sauce can also be made in a variety of ways, and some people prefer to use a food processor or blender to blend the ingredients, while others prefer to chop them by hand.
