About Butter chicken indian meal

Butter Chicken, also known as Murgh Makhani, is a popular dish from Indian cuisine. This flavorful meal features tender chicken simmered in a rich, creamy tomato-based sauce seasoned with a blend of aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, and garam masala. Traditionally, butter and cream are added to enhance the dish's smooth texture and luxurious taste. While Butter Chicken is a comforting and satisfying meal, it is relatively high in calories and saturated fats due to the cream and butter content. However, it does provide protein from the chicken and antioxidants from the tomatoes and spices. Served typically with naan, rice, or roti, it can be customized with lighter ingredients such as yogurt or reduced-fat milk to balance indulgence with nutritional considerations. The dish embodies the rich culinary heritage of North India and remains a favorite worldwide for its creamy, flavorful profile.
