What is "butter chicken"?

Butter chicken, also known as murgh makhani, is a classic Indian dish that is beloved around the world for its rich and creamy taste. The dish features tender pieces of chicken that have been marinated in a mixture of yogurt and spices, then cooked in a tandoor oven or grilled to perfection. The chicken is then simmered in a rich and buttery tomato-based sauce that has been flavored with a blend of spices such as garam masala, cumin, and coriander. The sauce is typically enriched with cream or cashew paste, which gives it a smooth and velvety texture. Butter chicken is usually served with rice or bread such as naan, and is a popular dish in Indian restaurants around the world.
