A Rich, Creamy, and Restaurant-Style Butter Chicken (Murgh Makhani) Recipe That's Surprisingly Easy to Make at Home

Butter Chicken, or Murgh Makhani, is a classic Indian dish that's characterized by its smooth and creamy tomato-based sauce. The chicken is marinated in a mixture of yogurt, spices, and sometimes lemon juice to tenderize the meat. This marinated chicken is then cooked and bathed in a delicious sauce made with butter, tomato puree, cream, and a blend of spices, giving it a rich and luxurious texture. The final dish is typically garnished with fresh coriander and served with basmati rice, naan, or paratha.
