Indian Butter Chicken
Butter Chicken is probably one of the most famous dish of India preceeded only by the Tikka. Travelling most parts in India, I would say this is the best chicken dish. The finest one was the one I
had in one of the Punjabi Dhaba in Northern India (dhaba is a road side restaurant which serves fresh hot - home made food) If you are visiting an Indian restaurant for the first time and are new to
Indian food, you may order Butter Chicken with a fair amount of confidence and be assured that your introduction to Indian food won't be a disaster. The flavours are easy on the palette, the colour
and texture silky, and the meat itself satisfying. Especialy, if eaten with Naan bread. The reason for this being the use of dried Fenugreek leaves and fennel seeds - the ingredient one cannot/must
not omit. Also choose the chicken with bones. Preferably an organic chicken. This is because the bones give out juices that further flavour the sauce. The concept lays in preparing the tandoori
chicken first and then shredding the pieces and adding to the sauce. With that in mind, the rest is easy.
