Butter Chicken
Butter Chicken, one of the most beloved chicken dishes of India and the world over, is in the centre of a storm over who invented it. While one claimant says his grandfather invented it by stretching out some tandoori chicken to serve a flurry of guests who came into his restaurant one night, another claims his grandfather invented it while experimenting on ways to freshen up unsold tandoori chicken. No matter who invented it, this dish is truly a treat for your senses. Butter Chicken features tender pieces of chicken marinated in a yogurt and spice mix, cooked in a clay oven and then simmered in a velvety tomato-based sauce laden with butter and cream. It's equally loved by truck drivers at road-side stalls in rural India and by international glamourati like Jackie Kennedy.
