Butter chicken Masala is an irresistible delicacy that is packed with all the rich and royal flavors. This curry-based dish is mildly spiced and has a creamy texture that is accommodating to every palette. The vivid popularity of this dish makes it a staple food item in every Indian restaurant.
It was created in the 1950s by Kundan Lal Gujral, the owner of Moti Mahal restaurant in Delhi. The interesting fact about this famous dish is that it was an accidental discovery by the owner. He didn’t want to discard the leftover tandoori chicken; instead he added it in a tomato-based gravy, cooked in butter and cream. Voila! there was this incredible recipe, which won our hearts and stomach.
The Perfect Pairing/Best Combo
