Description
Butter Chicken Curry (Murgh Makhani) is a Northern Indian curry. However, having cooked it a number of times for family and friends we’ve added a few elements of Parsi cooking and created our own version.
This is a wonderfully smooth and creamy curry. Bright red tomatoes mixed with cream and yogurt give the curry a lovely warm colour, while the taste makes it a favourite amongst many.
