Butter Chicken or Murgh Makhani is an Indian dish and contains a creamy, aromatic and spiced tomato curry sauce. The sauce itself is quite easy to make and as much as I love to make it from scratch, I don’t mind trying out genuine store bought sauces that tastes just as good. So for this easy recipe, I used the Butter Masala Makhani by Chai n Masala which creates a flavourful and aromatic Butter Chicken in only ten minutes! I decided not to eat this the traditional way by serving it with rice and naan (more work) but instead I went for sliders. Hence, the only real work I did, was buying some sliders, making a yoghurt, cucumber & coriander sauce and assemble the dish.
For extra crunch, I added a Chatpati Bhel which is a delicious mixture of puffed rice, sev (thick noodles made from Gram Flour) and paapdi (crunchy salty wafers) and peanuts. Chatpati Bhel can also be eaten as a snack as well, when you add tomatoes, boiled potatoes, green chili and onions. Hope you’ll try out this easy delicious cheat meal!
