About Dry butter chicken

Dry Butter Chicken is a flavorful Indian dish that hails from North Indian cuisine, celebrated for its rich blend of spices and bright, bold flavors. Unlike its creamier counterpart, this version features tender pieces of marinated chicken coated in a thick, spice-infused tomato reduction, with minimal sauce. Key ingredients include chicken, yogurt, garlic, ginger, tomatoes, and a blend of aromatic spices such as garam masala, turmeric, and chili powder. While the dish is protein-rich, providing essential nutrients, it can be moderate to high in fat due to the butter and oil used for cooking. However, the absence of heavy cream makes it a lighter alternative to traditional Butter Chicken. Pairing this dish with whole grains like brown rice or vegetables can enhance its nutritional profile, offering a satisfying balance of protein, fiber, and complex carbohydrates.
