Tips and Variations:

Butter chicken, also known as “murgh makhani” in Hindi, is believed to have originated by chance in Delhi, India.

Legend has it that it was created in the 1950s at the Moti Mahal restaurant when leftover tandoori chicken was mixed with a rich, tomato-based gravy, and the result was the now-beloved dish, butter chicken. This is a testament to how some of the most iconic and delicious recipes are often born out of culinary experimentation.

For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red chili flakes to the mushroom mixture.
For a vegetarian or vegan option, use vegan mayonnaise.
Add other vegetables to the mushroom mixture, such as diced bell peppers, zucchini, or asparagus.

Bonus Tips for a Culinary Adventure:

Elevate the dish by grilling the assembled crostini for a smoky touch.
For a more decadent version, top each crostini with a dollop of sour cream or crème fraîche.
Serve the crostini with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or hummus.
