Butter Chicken, or Murgh Makhani, is one of the most celebrated dishes at Chutneys Bellevue. This iconic North Indian curry has gained worldwide fame for its luxurious texture, rich flavors, and irresistible aroma, making it a must-try for first-time visitors and loyal patrons alike.
At Chutneys Bellevue, the Butter Chicken is prepared with meticulous attention to detail. The process begins with tender pieces of chicken, marinated overnight in a blend of yogurt and spices, including turmeric, cumin, and garam masala. This marinade infuses the meat with flavor, ensuring each bite is juicy and aromatic. The chicken is then cooked in a traditional tandoor, imparting a smoky depth to the dish.
The magic of Butter Chicken lies in its creamy, tomato-based sauce. At Chutneys Bellevue, fresh tomatoes are simmered with butter, cream, and an assortment of spices to create a velvety gravy. A touch of fenugreek leaves adds a subtle bitterness that balances the richness of the dish, while a dash of honey provides a gentle sweetness.
Served with steaming basmati rice or freshly baked naan, Butter Chicken is a comfort food that appeals to a wide range of palates. Its balance of flavors—smoky, creamy, tangy, and sweet—makes it a dish that lingers in the memory long after the meal is over. Whether you’re a connoisseur of Indian cuisine or a newcomer, this dish offers an unforgettable culinary experience.
