When people think of Indian cuisine, one dish consistently stands out as the ultimate comfort food: Butter Chicken. Creamy, flavorful, mildly spiced, and endlessly satisfying—it’s the dish that has won hearts around the world. But at Indian Junction, we’ve taken it a step further. We’ve turned a beloved classic into a local legend, and here’s why we proudly claim to serve the best Butter Chicken in the Netherlands.
Butter Chicken – A Little History, A Lot of Flavor
Known in India as Murgh Makhani, Butter Chicken originated in Delhi in the 1950s. It was born out of necessity—to make use of leftover tandoori chicken by simmering it in a buttery tomato-based sauce. What started as an improvisation quickly became a global phenomenon.
Today, this dish has evolved with regional variations, but the soul remains the same: smoky grilled chicken, a luscious creamy tomato gravy, and a hint of spice balanced with sweetness.
At Indian Junction, we’ve kept the essence intact while refining the recipe to create a version that appeals to both Indian taste buds and Dutch palates.
The Secret Behind Our Famous Butter Chicken
So, what makes our Butter Chicken not just good, but unforgettable?
1. Tandoori-Grilled Chicken That Melts in Your Mouth
We marinate our chicken in yogurt, lemon juice, and freshly ground spices for over 12 hours. Then we roast it in a traditional tandoor, locking in smoky flavor and tenderness.
Why it matters: Tandoori cooking adds a charred depth that sets a good butter chicken apart from the rest.
2. The Sauce – Silky, Buttery, and Balanced
The heart of any butter chicken lies in the sauce. Ours is a slow-cooked blend of ripe tomatoes, cream, cashews, and aromatic spices. A touch of fenugreek (kasuri methi) gives it that authentic North Indian aroma.
Result: A gravy so smooth and rich, you’ll want to scoop up every drop with naan.
3. Mild Yet Flavorful – Perfect for All Palates
Unlike overly spicy curries, our Butter Chicken is perfectly balanced for all age groups and spice preferences. It’s one of our most popular dishes among locals looking for flavorful yet non-spicy Indian food.
That’s why we’re known for the best butter chicken in the Netherlands.
4. Served with Love and Warm Bread
At Indian Junction, presentation matters just as much as preparation. Your butter chicken is served hot, garnished with fresh cream and coriander, accompanied by soft butter naan or fragrant basmati rice.
