Butter chicken, or murgh makhani, is a classic Indian dish originating from New Delhi. After making its way to New Zealand post-World War Two, it quickly won over the locals with its irresistible flavors. Today, it has become a beloved staple, even making an appearance in the form of a butter chicken pie at McDonald’s.
