Butter Chicken with a Twist Butter chicken has always been a favourite among many, but it isn't usually a go-to food when taking health into consideration. Chef Manjunath Mural from Song of India, however, tweaked the recipe so you can have it without so much guilt — all while retaining its taste, if not added with more! Adding butter is optional, but it gives it that yummy and creamier taste to mimic classic 'butter chicken'.
