Tender chicken pieces simmered in a luscious, velvety tomato-based sauce enriched with butter, cream, and aromatic spices. This iconic North Indian dish balances smoky, tangy, and subtly sweet flavors, making every bite a comforting and indulgent experience.
A crown jewel of Indian cuisine, Butter Chicken—or Murgh Makhani—is a dish that speaks the language of indulgence, flavor, and comfort. At Chef Prestige Gourmet, our version of this iconic classic celebrates tradition while delivering a rich, restaurant-quality experience in every bite.
We begin with succulent pieces of boneless chicken, marinated in a spiced yogurt base that includes ginger, garlic, lemon juice, chili, and garam masala. These pieces are then roasted or lightly grilled until charred at the edges—locking in the smoky depth that defines authentic butter chicken.
The heart of this dish lies in its silken tomato-butter gravy—a slow-simmered blend of pureed tomatoes, cream, and butter, seasoned with fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi), cumin, cardamom, and a touch of sweetness to balance the heat. The pre-cooked chicken is gently folded into the sauce, where it soaks up all the buttery richness and spice-laced creaminess.
Finished with a swirl of fresh cream and a final dollop of butter, the result is a velvety, aromatic dish that’s as satisfying as it is soul-warming. Served best with naan, paratha, or fragrant basmati rice, Butter Chicken is the ultimate comfort food—decadent enough for celebrations, yet beloved as an everyday favorite.
