Indian Butter Chicken Murgh Makhani

---

Murgh makhani (otherwise known as butter chicken" ) is one of my favorite indian dishes. It is also a great dish to make for people who are new to indian food-- everybody seems to like this one! I like to make it in the slow cooker; this allows the chicken to become melt-in-your-mouth tender and super flavorful. Serve it with steamed basmati rice and naan bread for dipping!"!
