    Murgh Makhani (Indian Butter Chicken), This is a simple home version of butter chicken, also known as ‘murgh’ or ‘chicken makhani, ‘ a popular dish in Indian restaurants This is best served with naan, an Indian bread, or you can also serve this with basmati rice **60 minute marinating time is not included in time to prepare , that good thanks, I made this a couple of months ago and meant to write a review so better late than never! This recipe is amazing, I bought yogurt from our local Indian market and used their chili powder however I’m glad I tasted the chili powder first because it was overwhelmingly hot so I mixed a very small portion of it with regular chili powder and it worked out perfectly I made a few changes here and there to put my own spin on it however this is a keeper!!! And don’t leave out the fenugreek leaves they really make the dish!
