Butter chicken (or murgh makhani) is part of Indian cuisine, popular in countries all over the world. The origins of butter chicken can be traced back to Britain, where desi chefs created a dish to suit the European palettei. Butter chicken is regarded to have been first introduced by Moti Mahal, Daryaganj and Aanand chicken, Ghaziabad. Butter chicken is usually served with naan, roti, parathas, roomali roti or steamed rice. It should not be confused with chicken tikka masala, a similarly coloured Indian chicken dish that originated among the South Asian diaspora in the United Kingdom.

Famous quotes containing the words butter and/or chicken:
“In mathematics he was greater
Than Tycho Brahe, or Erra Pater:
For he, by geometric scale,
Could take the size of pots of ale;
Resolve, by sines and tangents straight,
If bread and butter wanted weight;
And wisely tell what hour o’ th’ day
The clock doth strike, by algebra.”
—Samuel Butler (1612–1680)
“Filling her compact & delicious body
with chicken paprika, she glanced at me
twice.”
—John Berryman (1914–1972)
