Butter chicken, also known as murgh makhani, is a popular dish from the Indian subcontinent, particularly in North India. The dish is said to have been created by a chef named Kundan Lal Gujral, who operated a restaurant in the city of Peshawar, Pakistan in the 1930s. The story goes that Gujral came up with the dish as a way to use up more inexpensive parts of the chicken, which was often difficult to sell.(same with Tyner Pond Farm) He created a rich, creamy tomato-based sauce to serve with the chicken, and the dish was an instant hit.
