Butter Chicken, or "Murgh Makhani," is a popular dish originating from North Indian cuisine. It features tender pieces of chicken simmered in a rich, creamy tomato-based sauce made with butter, cream, spices like turmeric, paprika, and garam masala, and often includes cashews for added creaminess. Traditionally served with naan or rice, it’s known for its velvety texture and bold flavors. While Butter Chicken is a good source of protein thanks to the chicken, its sauce is high in saturated fats due to the butter and cream. Some recipes can be modified to include lower-fat alternatives while retaining its signature taste. It also provides antioxidants and vitamins from its tomato base and spices. This comfort dish can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
