Butter chicken, also known as Chicken Makhani, is a popular North Indian dish made with tender pieces of chicken marinated in a mixture of yogurt and spices, then cooked in a creamy tomato-based sauce enriched with butter, cream, and various spices like garam masala, Cumin, corinder, fenugreek, and chili powder, resulting in a rich, flavorful, and mildly spiced curry often served Basmati rice.
