Butter Chicken is a rich and creamy North Indian curry, featuring tandoor-roasted chicken simmered in a velvety tomato-butter sauce. The dish balances mild spices, sweetness, and a hint of tang, resulting in a smooth, luxurious flavor profile. Originating in Delhi in the mid-20th century, it was created as a way to repurpose leftover tandoori chicken, blending it into a buttery tomato gravy that became one of India’s most internationally beloved dishes. Traditionally served with naan or basmati rice, Butter Chicken embodies the comfort and indulgence of classic Punjabi cuisine.
