Is This the Best Butter Chicken in Perth? The Secret Behind Our Murg Makhani

Chakra's Popular Free-range Butter Chicken

When you search for Indian food in Perth, you will find "Butter Chicken" on almost every menu. It is Australia’s favourite curry, but not all Butter Chickens are created equal.

At Chakra Restaurant in Inglewood, we believe a truly great Butter Chicken (or Murg Makhani) shouldn't just be sweet and orange. It should be a complex balance of smoky, creamy, and savoury flavours.

Here is why our guests frequently tell us we serve the best Butter Chicken in Perth.

1. The Difference of Quality ingredients & cooking method

Great curry starts with the meat. We don't just cook the chicken; we source best quality free-range chicken, then, marinate boneless chicken thighs in yoghurt and spices for 48 hours. This gives the meat a distinct flovour before it even touches the sauce.

2. It’s About "Makhani" (Butter), Not Sugar

Many restaurants load their sauce with sugar to mask the lack of spice depth. We do it the traditional way. Our sauce is a rich reduction of tomatoes and fresh cream, finished with generous amounts of butter. The slight sweetness comes naturally from the tomatoes and cream, not a sugar spoon.

3. The Secret Ingredient: Kasuri Methi

To get that distinct "Chakra Butter Chicken" aroma, which guests say, is hard to replicate at home, we use premium Kasuri Methi (dried fenugreek leaves). It provides that earthy, nutty scent that signals you are eating authentic Indian food.

Dietary Friendly Dining

We know how important dietary requirements are to our Perth diners. Our Butter Chicken is completely Gluten-Free & Nut-free, making it a safe and delicious choice for everyone at the table.
