About Butterd chicken

Butter Chicken, also known as Murgh Makhani, is a creamy, flavorful dish originating from Indian cuisine. Typically made with marinated chicken cooked in a velvety tomato-based sauce enriched with butter, cream, and a blend of aromatic spices like garam masala, turmeric, and coriander, it is a globally loved comfort food. Served often with rice or naan, its richness comes from the liberal use of butter and cream, which contribute to its indulgent taste but also to higher fat and calorie content. On the healthier side, butter chicken provides a good source of protein from the chicken and essential vitamins and antioxidants from the tomatoes and spices. The dish can also be adapted with lower-fat dairy alternatives for a lighter version. While not inherently low-calorie, moderation and balanced pairings can make butter chicken an enjoyable part of a nutritious, varied diet.
