Makkhan Wala Kukkad, as the name suggests is loaded with makkhan (butter). Chef Harpal cooks the marinated curry cut pieces of chicken in loads of makkhan due to which this chicken gets a nice buttery flavour. He sprinkles the cooked chicken pieces with his special dry spices which enhance the flavour of this chicken dish. The chef also adds fresh cream to the chicken which makes it creamier. 

The buttery, creamy Makkhan Wala Kukkad is so delicious and mouth-watering that it cannot be missed.
