Butter Chicken (pictured left): This dish has iconic status both in and outside India! Also commonly known as Murg Makhani, Butter Chicken tastes great with Kaali Daal (black lentils) and a green salad.

Chapatis (Indian flatbread): They are the perfect accompaniment to most Indian dishes. They're not difficult to make but the old saying "Practice makes perfect" was probably written for them. Learn how to make them with my step-by-step photo tutorial, How to make Chapatis.
