Butter chicken is a popular Indian dish that is known for its rich, creamy tomato-based sauce and tender pieces of chicken. The chicken is marinated in a spiced yogurt mixture before being cooked in a tandoor or oven. The sauce is made from tomato puree, cream, butter, and a blend of aromatic spices such as cumin, coriander, and garam masala. The cooked chicken is then simmered in the sauce, allowing the flavors to meld together and create a deliciously savory and slightly sweet dish. Butter chicken is typically served with rice, naan bread, or other flatbreads.
Air fried butter chicken is a healthier version of butter chicken, where the chicken is marinated in a blend of yogurt and spices, then cooked in an air fryer until crispy and tender. The chicken is then simmered in a creamy tomato-based sauce with a hint of sweetness and tanginess, made with butter, cream, tomato puree, and various spices such as garam masala, turmeric, and cumin. It’s a flavorful and delicious dish that can be enjoyed with rice, naan bread, or a side of vegetables.
