About Butter chicken thigh

Butter Chicken Thigh is a rich and flavorful dish rooted in Indian cuisine, traditionally known as Murgh Makhani. This dish features tender chicken thighs simmered in a creamy tomato-based sauce crafted from butter, cream, and aromatic spices like garam masala, turmeric, and cumin. It’s often served with rice or naan, making it a hearty and satisfying meal. While butter chicken is high in protein due to the chicken, its creamy sauce contributes to higher calories and saturated fats, so portion awareness is key for maintaining balance. The dish also offers the benefit of spices, which may aid digestion and have anti-inflammatory properties. Variations can include lighter ingredients, such as yogurt instead of cream, for a healthier option. Butter Chicken Thigh beautifully blends bold flavors with indulgence, making it a beloved staple in Indian cuisine worldwide.
