A Family Recipe Made with Patience and Love

"This recipe is tedious but I wouldn’t take any shortcuts as it wouldn’t truly represent the authentic flavours of my butter chicken." – Manjari

Butter chicken is a dish that carries stories, and for Manjari it’s one she’s perfected through years of cooking for family and friends. Every step is done the way it should be — marinating the chicken in yoghurt, lime and spices, building the sauce slowly with tomatoes, ginger, garlic and Kashmiri chilli, and finishing with butter, cream and a touch of fenugreek. You can taste the care in every mouthful.

This is not the watered-down version you’ll often find in takeaway. Manjari’s butter chicken is layered, aromatic and comforting, with a warmth that’s gentle enough for the whole family to enjoy but still full of character. Pair it with basmati rice and naan for an easy meal that feels like it came straight from an Indian home kitchen, because that’s exactly where it began.
