What Is Butter Chicken?
Butter chicken is an internationally-loved dish for good reason! Rather than being sweet or spicy, this creamy curry is on the tangy side. The chicken absorbs all the flavors from the spiced yogurt marinade, including garam marsala, ginger, garlic, cumin and coriander. There are plenty of variations on the recipe — some have a tomato base, others sprinkle in some fenugreek seeds — so look for a jar that features some of your favorite ingredients!
