Dhaba Style Butter Chicken

Dhaba-style Butter Chicken, a beloved classic in Indian cuisine, is a mouthwatering dish that combines rich flavours and aromatic spices to create a culinary masterpiece. This indulgent delicacy originates from the rustic charm of North Indian roadside eateries known as "dhabas," where authenticity and taste reign supreme.

Tender pieces of succulent chicken are marinated in a blend of yogurt, spices, and aromatic herbs, infusing them with a tantalizing depth of flavour. The chicken is then cooked to perfection in a creamy tomato-based gravy that's generously laced with butter, creating a velvety texture that's simply irresistible. The magic of this dish lies in the harmonious marriage of spicy and buttery notes, with a hint of smokiness from the tandoor or grill.

But don’t give me an excuse for not cooking this Dhaba-style butter chicken if you don't have either of these equipments.

Hope you feel inspired. Let me know how it turns out for you.
