Experience the rich, creamy taste of our authentic Butter Chicken at Hot Million Indian Cuisine. This beloved North Indian classic features tender boneless chicken pieces simmered in a velvety tomato-based sauce, finished with butter and cream. Our recipe has been perfected over 30 years in the food industry, making it one of Calgary's most sought-after Indian dishes.
Our Butter Chicken, also known as Murgh Makhani, is a culinary masterpiece that has earned Hot Million a spot among Calgary's top 20 restaurants. The dish begins with tender chicken pieces marinated in yogurt and aromatic spices, then cooked in our traditional tandoor for that authentic smoky flavor.
The star of the dish is our signature tomato-cream sauce, slow-cooked with a blend of over 15 spices including fenugreek, garam masala, and cardamom. We finish with a generous swirl of butter and cream, creating that characteristic rich, velvety texture that has made this dish a global favorite.
At Hot Million, we use only the freshest ingredients and authentic cooking techniques passed down through generations. Our butter chicken is mild enough for those new to Indian cuisine yet flavorful enough to satisfy seasoned spice lovers. It pairs perfectly with our fresh naan bread, fragrant basmati rice, or our signature garlic naan.
