Other than the Mughlai cuisines, there are other finger licking foods which make the Delhiites fall in love with the city again and again. Butter Chicken is one of the most delightful dishes of the country. It originated in the 1950s in Moti Mahal Restaurant in Delhi. The restaurant was originally known for its tandoori chicken. The cooks there accidentally tossed the sauce consisting of butter, tomato and chicken juices with tandoori chicken pieces which led to the creation of this amazing dish. Today, butter chicken is found in almost all the restaurants and dhabas.
