Butter chicken is one of the most loved dishes in the sub-continent. The origins of this staple dish in India kitchens can be traced to Old Delhi. In the 1950s, butter chicken was first introduced by Kundan Lal Gujral at his renowned restaurant Moti Mahal. The dish involves cooking tandoor-cooked chicken in a rich marinade of tomato and butter, resulting in a flavourful and creamy gravy.
