History
Butter chicken originated in the 1950s in Moti Mahal, a restaurant in Delhi that was well known for it's tandoori dishes. A tandoor is a circular clay oven, and can be found in any Indian restaurant worth its salt.
So the story goes, the cooks of Moti Mahal would mix leftover marinade juices with butter and tomato, and then stew the tandoor-cooked chicken in it. Through this they stumbled upon what became an internationally loved delicacy. The restaurant quickly became a famous attraction of Delhi and it wasn’t long before butter chicken proliferated throughout the world.
