Keto Butter Chicken

Cultural Context

Butter Chicken, or Murgh Makhani, originated in Delhi, India, in the 1950s. It was created by the chefs at the Moti Mahal restaurant, who used leftover chicken in a rich, creamy tomato sauce. This dish has become a staple in Indian cuisine, celebrated for its luxurious flavors and comforting texture. Today, Butter Chicken is enjoyed worldwide, with variations that cater to different dietary needs, including this keto-friendly version that replaces traditional ingredients to fit low-carb lifestyles.
