About Rice and butter chicken
Rice and Butter Chicken is a classic dish from Indian cuisine, known for its rich, creamy flavors and hearty appeal. It features tender pieces of chicken cooked in a buttery tomato-based sauce infused with aromatic spices like garam masala, cumin, and coriander. The dish is traditionally served over steamed basmati rice, which helps balance the bold flavors. While Butter Chicken is high in protein due to the chicken, its creamy sauce—often made with butter and heavy cream—makes it higher in saturated fats. However, incorporating ingredients like fresh tomatoes and yogurt can offer a healthier version without compromising flavor. The dish is a great source of energy thanks to the rice's carbohydrates but can be calorie-dense, so portion control is recommended. It remains a beloved comfort food that showcases the richness of Indian culinary traditions.
