Our Butter Chicken is the soul of Mother India Dosa And Curry. Boneless chicken is marinated in yogurt and tandoori spices, lightly charred in the tandoor, then finished in a slow-simmered makhani gravy of ripe tomatoes, fresh cream, butter and pure desi ghee. The result is rich, mildly sweet and unmistakably Punjabi - the kind of butter chicken NE Calgary keeps coming back for, day or night.
At Mother India Dosa And Curry we cook our Butter Chicken the traditional Punjabi way - slow, patient and finished with pure desi ghee. Every batch starts with overnight-marinated tender chicken, lightly charred in our tandoor for that subtle smoky note before it meets the gravy.
The makhani gravy itself is a labour of love: vine-ripened tomatoes, cashews, cream, butter and a balanced spice mix simmered low and slow until silken. No shortcuts, no premixes - just the recipe Punjabi families have made at home for generations, served fresh around the clock to NE Calgary.
Most butter chicken in Calgary is mass-produced and over-sweetened. Ours uses pure desi ghee, a freshly-roasted spice base and tandoor-charred chicken - giving a deeper, smokier, more authentic flavour. And because we are open 24/7, you can have it hot and fresh whenever the craving hits.
"Absolutely the best butter chicken in Calgary NE. Creamy, perfectly spiced, and you can actually taste the real desi ghee. We order it at least once a week."
"Tastes just like the butter chicken from back home in Punjab. Tender chicken, beautiful gravy, and amazing with their fresh garlic naan."
"Ordered at 2 AM after a night shift and it arrived hot and full of flavour. So glad Mother India is open 24/7 - this butter chicken is a lifesaver."
