About Butter masala

Butter Masala, commonly known as Butter Chicken Masala, is a creamy and aromatic dish originating from North Indian cuisine. Made with tender pieces of chicken simmered in a rich, velvety sauce, its key ingredients include tomatoes, butter, cream, and a blend of traditional Indian spices such as garam masala, turmeric, and cumin. While its bold flavors and satisfying texture make it a favorite worldwide, the dish's high butter and cream content can contribute to elevated saturated fats and calorie levels. However, it also contains protein from the chicken and beneficial antioxidants from the spice blend, particularly turmeric. Butter Masala can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet, often paired with fiber-rich accompaniments like whole-grain naan or brown basmati rice for a more nutritious serving. Popular among food lovers, it showcases the indulgent and flavorful essence of Indian cooking.
