Butter Chicken, traditionally known as Murgh Makhani, originated in Delhi, India, in the 1950s at the Moti Mahal restaurant. It was created by accident when leftover tandoori chicken was incorporated into a tomato-based gravy enriched with butter and cream. This adaptation replaces the chicken and dairy with plant-based alternatives while maintaining the essence of the original dish.
Butter Chicken, in its original form, is a celebratory dish often served during special occasions and family gatherings in India and is widely popular globally as an Indian culinary staple. This plant-based adaptation represents a modern approach that aligns with vegetarian and vegan dietary preferences while still honoring the dish's heritage and flavor profile. It reflects a growing awareness of plant-based eating within the Indian diaspora and beyond.

The Butter Chick-Un Bowl offers a creamy, rich, and slightly sweet flavor profile, balanced with savory and aromatic spices. The crispy chick-un provides a textural contrast to the smooth sauce and fluffy rice.
The dominant flavors include the sweetness of tomatoes and cashew cream, the warmth of ginger and garlic, and the complexity of Indian spices like garam masala, cumin, coriander, and turmeric. The coconut milk base contributes to the creamy texture and adds a subtle sweetness. The crispy chick-un brings a savory, slightly seasoned element. The naan provides a slightly charred and doughy complement, while the brown rice offers a nutty, wholesome base.
Spice Level Adjustment
Adjust the amount of chili powder or garam masala to control the spiciness of the sauce according to your preference.
Naan Toasting
Lightly toast the naan before serving to enhance its flavor and texture, giving it a slightly crispy edge.
Chick-Un Crispiness
Ensure the chick-un is thoroughly crispy before adding it to the bowl. You can achieve this by baking, air frying, or pan-frying it.
Fresh Garnish
Garnish the bowl with fresh cilantro or chopped green onions for a burst of freshness and visual appeal.
