I live in deep east Texas and our only Indian food restaurant within hours of me closed due to Covid.

What's your go-to recipe for butter chicken? I'm ok with canned, homemade, frozen, anything that you would recommend.

Guys please help a confused European - is it the same as Chicken Tikka Masala? Or like Tikka Masala with butter?

[–] yenahmik@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It's pretty similar to Tikka Masala but less spicy I suppose.

Fairly similar, different origins. Butter Chicken originated in India, while Tikka Masala originated in Britain. Other than that, Butter Chicken's curry/gravy/sauce is blended up and smooth. There's also more butter involved.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that butter chicken is also known as murgh makhani. murgh makhani is different than Masada because the gravy or sauce is made different or has some different ingredients.

At least that's what sounds right in my head
