Love classic butter chicken? How about traditional empanadas? Chef Akhtar's genius snack or party-platter food combines the best of both into perfectly delicious packages. They're exactly what you think they are—buttery pastry enveloping rich, flavorful, saucy butter chicken. Drizzle the creamy Indian-Spiced Buttermilk Ranch on top or use it as a dip. You’re going to want to add these to every order.
