I heard there is a dispute over who invented Butter Chicken, that is a butter flavoured Chicken Curry. I never know how Butter Chicken was originally created, but there are many methods these days. I prepare it using what I always have, and it is very simple. You don’t need to buy Butter Chicken sauce. This Butter Chicken is easy and yummy.
