About Buttered chicken

Buttered Chicken, or "Murgh Makhani," is a popular North Indian dish with global appeal. This flavorful curry combines tender chicken pieces cooked in a rich, creamy tomato-based sauce infused with butter, cream, and a blend of aromatic spices like garam masala, turmeric, and cumin. The dish is typically served with naan or basmati rice, making it a hearty and comforting meal. From a nutritional perspective, Buttered Chicken is a good source of protein from the chicken, and the spices offer antioxidants and potential anti-inflammatory benefits. However, it is a calorie-dense dish due to its use of butter, cream, and sometimes added sugar, which can contribute to high levels of saturated fat. Those looking for healthier alternatives can opt for reduced-fat dairy or limit portion sizes, while still enjoying the vibrant flavors of this iconic dish.
