Is Tikka Masala Butter Chicken?
Nope, they're cousins but not the same! Tikka Masala usually has grilled chicken in a tomato cream sauce, while Butter Chicken is also creamy but has a richer, buttery taste.

Butter chicken is better, hands down.
No, they're different. Chicken Tikka Masala has more of a tomato-based flavor, whereas Butter Chicken is smoother and creamier.
As someone who has cooked both, I can tell you that Tikka Masala has a spicier kick and grilled chicken, while Butter Chicken is more about that rich, buttery sauce.
