The classic Punjabi staple, made the way it should be — tandoor-grilled chicken simmered in a rich tomato-and-cream gravy spiced with garam masala, kashmiri chilli and fenugreek. Generous portions, paired beautifully with naan or basmati rice.
Butter Chicken (Murgh Makhani) is the dish that introduced the world to North Indian cuisine, and at Chef Paaji we treat it with the respect it deserves. Boneless chicken is marinated overnight in yogurt, ginger-garlic and tandoori spices, then charred in a high-heat tandoor for that signature smoky flavour.
The gravy is built from scratch — ripe tomatoes, butter, fresh cream, garam masala, kashmiri chilli for colour and a final flourish of crushed kasuri methi. The result is a perfectly balanced butter chicken that customers have called the best takeout butter chicken in Winnipeg.

"Authentic Punjabi butter chicken, exactly the way my mom makes it. The smoky tandoor flavour comes through and the gravy is perfectly balanced — not too sweet, not too heavy."
