The original “Butter Chicken” recipe is thought to have originated in a restaurant trying to use leftover chicken tandoori – they cooked it in a super buttery creamy sauce to moisten the chicken. It is a delicious tomato and cream rich curry traditionally called Murgh makhani – like many Indian dishes, there is a depth of flavour built up by cooking onions until soft and using spices. In our vegan version using meaty marinated mushrooms grilled and then finished in a super creamy rich sauce – we use mushrooms in our recipe but you can also use tofu instead, simply marinate it the same way we marinate our mushrooms for a super delicious alternative version to this great recipe – so delicious!
