Butter Chicken
In Indian cuisine makhani is a butter chicken sauce. It’s basically a gravy the chicken is cooked in with plenty of warm spices, a hint of tomato and some cream. Like curry-style chicken or curried chickpeas, it’s both rich and light and best served with rice and topped with cilantro. Marinating the chicken in yogurt makes it incredibly tender, this can be done the night before if time allows.
