Is Butter Chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala the Same Thing?
Nope, they're not the same! Butter Chicken is creamier and sweeter, with a tomato-butter gravy, while Chicken Tikka Masala has a spicier, tangier tomato base. Both are delicious though!

Butter Chicken is like Chicken Tikka Masala's sweeter, creamier cousin. They're similar but definitely not twins!
As a chef, I can tell you that while both dishes use marinated chicken, the sauces are different. Butter Chicken is richer and creamier, Chicken Tikka Masala is spicier and tangier.
Hot take: Butter Chicken walks so Chicken Tikka Masala can run.
