Indian Butter Chicken (Murgh Makhani)

Indian Butter Chicken, or Murgh Makhani, is one of the most popular and beloved Indian dishes around the world. It’s a luxuriously creamy and mildly spiced tomato-based curry with tender pieces of chicken. The chicken is first marinated in a yogurt and spice mixture, which makes it incredibly tender and flavorful. It’s then cooked in a velvety smooth sauce made from tomatoes, butter, cashews, and a touch of cream. The result is a dish that is rich, fragrant, and utterly delicious. While it sounds complex, this recipe simplifies the process for the home cook, delivering authentic flavor without spending all day in the kitchen. It’s a perfect dish for a special dinner or when you’re craving some serious Indian comfort food.
