Created by Kundan Lal Gujral, you may notice that Butter Chicken (known as murgh makhani — chicken with butter), is similar to British tikka masala. Prepared in a buttery gravy with the addition of cream gives the curry sauce a silky smooth rich texture. Stir in a few spoonfuls of sauce, and simmer until liquid has reduced, and chicken is no longer pink. It's simplified and cooked all in one pan and goes great with a side of rice or naan!
