Butter chicken is a dish that was born close to home, in a restaurant called Moti Mahal in Delhi about 70 years ago. Delhi is arguably the culinary capital of India, and Moti Mahal contributed significantly to putting India on the food map of the world back then. Moti Mahal is a successful chain of restaurants with outlets far and wide. There is famous adage which says when you visit India you must visit the Taj Mahal and (you must eat at) Moti Mahal. Frankly, I don’t disagree, in fact I urge you to visit one of the branches in Delhi as it is most authentic in that part of the country in my opinion.
