Classic Butter Chicken
Chef Guarav's butter chicken is made with a base of aromatic tomato gravy with plenty of butter (makhan) and yogurt-marinated chicken that's juicy and spiced throughout. Traditionally cooked in a tandoor, the chicken is stewed until super tender, then served atop cumin-scented basmati rice. This dish is famous for its bold red-orange color, silky smooth creamy texture, and rich flavors.
