Butter Chicken

Butter chicken is a popular Punjabi dish, and one that characterizes the essence of the region’s cooking. The greatness of the dish, also called chicken makhni, comes from the immersion of roasted chicken in a curry that is as smooth as butter. This velvety texture, and the mingling of the sour and the sweet and the spices, is what gives the dish its name. Serve the chicken with fresh naan.
