Curry preferences are a source of hot debate among the UK
population, and rightfully so. Some of us enjoy a spicy, bland, and uninspiring
bhuna. Whilst the more sophisticated individual prefers the rich, creamy, and
complex flavour of a butter chicken.
To assist you in deciding which curry is appropriate for
your taste palate, we’ve created this brief overview on the benefits of butter
chicken.
It’s easy to assume that the flavours of our favourite curry recipes originate from India, and although that is true for some, most of our popular Indian dishes were created here in the UK.
Curries such as the vindaloo, madras, and jalfrezi were developed on UK soil, as an adaptation of Indian cuisine to suit our somewhat, unique flavour preferences.
Furthermore, as a culture, we associate levels of spice with masculinity, status, and overall supremacy. However, in India, this could not be further from the truth.
You may be interested to know that entangled amongst the rich history of Indian cuisine, lies a direct correlation between levels of spice in your food, and social status.
In fact, just a few centuries ago, the lack of spice in your curry was an indication of prestige and class. Usually, the spice was included in dishes made by the fringe of society, to mask the taste and suppress appetite.
When most people think of curry, they think of a bland bhuna or a repulsive rogan josh. However, you may be happy to know that there is a light at the end of the poorly lit, depressing curry tunnel that society has pushed us through.
Butter chicken.
It’s completely void of spice, so you can safely place yourself down on the toilet the following morning without fear of pain.
Furthermore, the flavours dance on your tongue like a moonlight sonata, hints of delicate cream and tangy mango blend together to create a state of absolute curry bliss.
If you’ve grown bored of the generic curry stereotypes that certain individuals pressure the rest of society to adhere to, then butter chicken may be perfect for you.
As a source of constant debate, it’s often overwhelming to compare the contrasting opinions and preferences of these two powerhouses. As a result, we’ve put together a list of pros and cons for each curry, to help highlight which one is most suitable for your taste
