Recipe Description:

Named for the dairy-enriched tomato sauce at its heart (‘makhani’ means ‘butter’), this Punjabi curry is better known outside of India in its ‘butter chicken’ incarnation— invented in a flash of inspiration by a single chef at Delhi’s iconic Moti Mahal restaurant, stirring butter and tomatoes into leftover tandoori chicken that had dried out. A vegetarian variant followed not long after, using urid (black lentil) dal for its rich taste and luxurious colour. Far from being a lowly substitute ingredient, though, the dal makhani began to outperform its meaty predecessor, and the dish has been a staple of North Indian festive occasions ever since.
