Butter Chicken (Murgh Makhani) is one of India's most beloved dishes and a signature specialty at Spicy Delight Indian Bistro & Bar. Our authentic recipe begins with chicken marinated in yogurt and spices, then cooked in our traditional tandoor oven to lock in flavor and juiciness. The chicken is then simmered in a rich, creamy tomato sauce made with butter, cream, and a carefully balanced blend of spices including garam masala, fenugreek leaves, and a touch of honey for sweetness.

What makes our Butter Chicken special is the perfect balance of flavors – creamy without being heavy, flavorful without overwhelming spice, and with that distinctive smoky tandoor flavor that elevates the dish. We serve our Butter Chicken with your choice of basmati rice or freshly baked naan bread, making it the perfect comfort food for any occasion.

How We Prepare Our Butter Chicken

Our Butter Chicken preparation follows traditional Indian cooking methods. We start by marinating fresh chicken pieces in a blend of yogurt and authentic Indian spices, allowing the flavors to penetrate deeply. The marinated chicken is then cooked in our tandoor oven, which gives it that distinctive smoky flavor and tender texture.

The sauce is prepared separately using fresh tomatoes, butter, cream, and a carefully balanced blend of spices. We simmer the sauce slowly to develop rich, complex flavors. Finally, the tandoori chicken is added to the sauce and gently simmered together, allowing the flavors to meld perfectly. The result is a dish that's rich, creamy, and bursting with authentic Indian flavors.
