Chef Akshay Bhardwaj emphasizes that choosing the right chicken cut and marinating it is crucial for making authentic butter chicken, enhancing both flavor and texture.
Bhardwaj's version of butter chicken strikes a perfect balance between sweet and spicy, maintaining the creamy richness while avoiding overwhelming sweetness that can spoil the dish.
He highlights that butter chicken has various regional variations in India, each with its unique flavor profile, and his preferred recipe is a harmonious blend of the best elements.
The dish's popularity in the U.S. has been monumental, traced back to its introduction in New York's Gaylord Indian Restaurant, making it a staple in Indian cuisine.
