Butter Chicken's Tryst With Destiny - a podcast by IVM Podcasts

Sit back and relax, dip your fingers in the butter chicken bowl and enjoy its flavours while the Gourmands and Geeks, the 2Gs; Sadaf and Archit drive through narrow lanes of butter chicken history into our obsession with it in the 21st century.

Is butter chicken Mughlai? What is the connection between the India-Pakistan partition, the late Mr. Jawharlal Nehru, and butter chicken? Who invented it and why they might not be the only one to do so? Can you still have the butter chicken made with the original recipe in Delhi? What are the factors behind the high demand for butter chicken, and why it is the king in the North! We'll answer these questions and a lot more in this episode.
