Summing Up

Alaska's bitterly cold winters are the perfect time to indulge in butter chicken. A curry style in which tender chicken chunks are immersed in a decadent, creamy cashew and tomato sauce. For the finest flavor, serve it with rice or any flatbread.

When Mokha Singh Lamba opened his restaurant in Peshawar about a century ago, the dish we now know as butter chicken gravy first appeared. With the introduction of this ground-breaking technique, its precursor, the well-known Indian dish Tandoori Chicken, underwent a stunning transformation.

Every region has embraced the flavor of chicken makhani, also known as butter chicken, which has achieved worldwide renown. Alaskan frontiersmen serve the butter chicken dish with tacos or roti, while Indians like it with naan bread.
