Butter Chicken is also traditionally known as Murgh Makhni and is one of the most popular and delicious dishes in India. Butter Chicken is a favourite for Indians when visiting their local restaurants and has its origins from the Moti Mahal restaurant in Delhi.

Whilst traditionally the marinated chicken is grilled in a tandoori chicken masala first and then cooked in a smooth buttery and tomato-based gravy, we have simplified the process so that you can cook the chicken straight in a pot and get the same authentic meal.
