I spent an afternoon making Butter Chicken from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting ghee right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The tangy and vibrant result was rewarding once I got it right.

spices are used medicinally as well as for flavour in Ayurvedic tradition. I served it with chai tea as the recipe suggested and the pairing made sense. It took longer than I expected but the outcome was genuinely satisfying. Making Butter Chicken yourself gives you a new appreciation for what goes into it at a restaurant.
