De Delhi a tu cocina: Una receta paso a paso de pollo con mantequilla

January 15, 2023 por Staff Cook

I first had butter chicken on a road trip from Mumbai to a hill station.   Late in the evening, my uncle pulled over at this restaurant in a cottage in the middle of a dark field.   Of course, it was the best dish I’ve ever had in that atmosphere.   Now I know that it’s a very popular dish in Northern India and can be found in Indian restaurants worldwide.

History of Butter Chicken

Butter chicken, also known as murgh makhani, is a popular dish in Indian cuisine that originated in the northern Indian city of Delhi. It is believed to have been created in the 1950s by Kundan Lal Gujral, the owner of a restaurant called Moti Mahal. According to the legend, Butter chicken was created as a way to use up leftover tandoori chicken.

Gujral came up with simmering the leftover chicken in a tomato-based sauce with butter and cream. The dish was instantly successful and quickly gained popularity among locals and travelers. The dish quickly spread throughout northern India and eventually to other parts of the country and the world.

What does butter chicken taste like?

Butter chicken is typically made with marinated chicken cooked in a clay oven (tandoor). It has a rich and creamy flavor with a slightly sweet and tangy taste. The tomato-based sauce is made with butter, cream, and a blend of ginger, garlic, cumin, cilantro, and garam masala. The tender, succulent chicken is then simmered in the flavorful sauce, creating a savory and sweet balance. The dish is typically served with rice or naan bread. General, it is a comforting and satisfying dish with a harmonious blend of flavors.

What is the difference between butter chicken and tikka masala?

Butter chicken and chicken tikka masala are sometimes confused. Butter chicken and chicken tikka masala are both popular Indian dishes, but they are prepared differently and have distinct flavors. Butter chicken is a dish that originated in northern India. On the other hand, chicken tikka masala is a dish believed to have originated in the UK and is heavily influenced by Indian cuisine. Butter chicken is known for its sweet, creamy, and mild taste, while Chicken Tikka Masala is known for its spicy, creamy, and tomato-based flavor.
