Butter chicken
India · South Asia

Butter chicken, also called murgh makhani, is an Indian chicken dish with a smooth tomato-based sauce. Chicken is marinated with yogurt and spices, grilled or roasted, then simmered in the sauce. A tandoor may be used for the chicken; home preparations can use an oven or pan.[1]
Butter and cream enrich the sauce. Ginger, garlic, chilli, garam masala and dried fenugreek leaves are among the seasonings used, and some recipes include cashews. Butter chicken is served with naan, roti, paratha or rice.[1]
