About Butter chicken

Butter Chicken, also known as Murgh Makhani, is a popular dish in Indian cuisine celebrated for its rich, savory flavor. Traditionally, it consists of tender chicken pieces marinated in yogurt and spices, then simmered in a creamy, tomato-based sauce infused with butter, garlic, ginger, and a blend of warm Indian spices such as garam masala, turmeric, and cumin. Often served with naan or rice, Butter Chicken offers a well-rounded meal. While the dish is a good source of protein from the chicken, its high butter and cream content may make it high in calories and saturated fat, which could be a concern for those watching their intake. Opting for reduced-fat dairy alternatives or smaller portions can help balance its nutritional profile while still enjoying its rich and satisfying taste.
