No trip to Delhi is complete without some food tasting, and India’s capital is also a hotbed for North Indian cuisine. The world-famous butter chicken (also known as Murgh Makhani in Hindi), a huge favourite among the British after Indian independence and today popular with Western palates, as well as many other people around the world, was first invented at a restaurant in Delhi by accident when it was made with left-overs that had been combined. The chefs of Moti Mahal, the restaurant where it was invented, would combine tandoor-cooked chicken with leftover marinade juices, tomato, and butter, stewed slowly and with love. More than half a century later, this dish is still wildly popular and is served by many reputable Indian restaurants around the world.
