Butter Chicken INDIA

Butter chicken was born when Kundan Lal Gujral worked as a cook at a roadside truck stop in Peshawar (now in Pakistan) during the pre-partition days. Not wanting to waste any tandoori chicken, he separated leftover chicken from the bones and simmered it in a sauce of pureed tomatoes, butter, cream and dried fenugreek leaves.
