A PINCH OF SALT
Butter chicken with Dorian Mode and Chef Daniel
Considering how long Indian people have been making curries, butter chicken is more like the new kid on the block, developed by accident in the 1950s in New Delhi. Its Indian name is murgh makhan and it was first called Butter Chicken in an Indian restaurant in Manhattan in 1975. How spicy do you like it?

Chef Daniel and Dorian Mode
Chef Daniel’s next guest is the King of satire and comedy Dorian Mode. Dorian is a local jazz pianist who writes original songs about our local area such as the Woy Woy Waltz Waltz, the Kincumber Rhumba and Get along to Ettalong. These two are as cheeky as each other. In this episode, Chef Daniel
helps Dorian make butter chicken from scratch. No more bottled sauce mixes; they make Chef Daniel cringe. Dorian learned a lot about the use of lots of butter and cream in home cooking, despite the belief that these fats are bad. Turns out they are good with most chefs using butter in their cooking.
