About Butter chicken and roti

Butter Chicken and Roti is a flavorful dish rooted in Indian cuisine, combining tender pieces of chicken cooked in a rich, creamy tomato-based sauce with a side of traditional flatbread made from wholewheat or refined flour. The butter chicken, spiced with a blend of aromatics including garam masala, cumin, and coriander, is simmered with butter, cream, and sometimes yogurt, creating its signature velvety texture. While it’s a delicious source of protein, the dish’s high butter and cream content contribute to significant fat and calorie content. Pairing it with wholewheat roti can provide fiber, aiding digestion and balancing the meal slightly better than refined alternatives. This dish embodies comfort food, but moderation is key for maintaining a healthy diet due to the richness of the butter chicken. Roti offers a lighter, versatile pairing that complements the bold flavors of the curry.
