Is Butter Chicken Another Name for Tikka Masala?
Not exactly. Butter Chicken originated in Delhi and uses tandoori chicken in a buttery, creamy tomato sauce, while Chicken Tikka Masala likely has British roots with grilled chicken pieces in a spicier, tomato-based sauce.

Nope, they're not the same! Butter Chicken (Murgh Makhani) and Chicken Tikka Masala might look similar and both have creamy sauces, but they're distinct dishes with different origins and flavors.
Take it from someone who eats these dishes like, a lot, Butter Chicken has a smoother, richer sauce compared to the spicier Tikka Masala. They're both amazing, just different vibes!
Hot take: They're practically twins separated at birth. Will you taste the difference? Maybe, but your taste buds will still thank you either way!
