There’s really nothing like a mother’s touch in the world, particularly when it comes to some delicious homemade food. One dish in our household has been a favorite since I can remember: My mom’s butter chicken!

The unique combination of spices, mastered over time, is what gives the dish its distinctive flavor. An Indian restaurant will usually marinate the chicken in yogurt for hours, mixed with spices such as garlic, coriander, garam masala, ginger, cumin, and others – it can differ from place to place. It is then baked (typically tandoori-style) and served in a mild, butter-rich curry sauce.

The Outcome? A dish that you have to taste in order to believe. One taste of butter chicken, the way it is served in a premium Indian restaurant, will make you wonder no longer. But don’t take my word for it – after all, tasting is believing!
