Description
Butter chicken (murgh makhani) is one of India's most popular staple dishes. The rich sauce includes tomato, butter and cream and is laced with aromatic spices such as ginger, garam masala, fenugreek and garlic. Although there's some debate about its exact origin story, the dish seems to have been created at a Delhi restaurant in the mid-1900s. This recipe swaps in canned chickpeas for the chicken, providing a vegetarian-friendly alternative, and includes some additional warm spices such as cinnamon, clove and cardamom. Serve the dish alongside basmati rice and plenty of naan to soak up the fragrant sauce.
