Butter Chicken and Homemade Naan | Cinematic

Описание: salaam!

what better way to start 2026 then cooking a classic Indian dish!

I’ve made butter chicken before but making naan from scratch and working with yeast was definitely a challenge!

Butter chicken originated in Delhi in the 1950s, where tandoori chicken was simmered in a tomato-butter sauce to create a dish rooted in comfort and hospitality.
Traditionally served with naan, it’s meant to be shared, slowly and warmly.
