Yum Makhani — restaurant-rich, body-light.
Most takeaway butter chicken in the UK ships oily, gloopy, and one-dimensional. The gravy hits you twice — once on the tongue, once tomorrow morning. Yum! Curries' Yum Makhani is built differently.
Boneless chicken cubes — 8–10 hand-trimmed pieces per dish. Halal-certified meat. Slow-developed makhani gravy from tomato + onion + spice technique, finished with a delicate cream swirl and kasuri methi (fenugreek leaf) flakes. Low-oil finish — gravies look glossy from reduction, not from butter pools or ghee floats. Kashmiri-red tomato base gives the mahogany colour without artificial dye.

Yum Makhani questions — answered.
Is the butter chicken really low-oil?
Yes. The gravy is built from spice technique + slow-cook reduction + ingredient quality, not from butter pools or oil floats. Cream swirls are kept moderate (cream isn't oil). The gloss comes from reduction, not fat. We cook in British rapeseed oil only — never ghee, palm or sunflower.
Is Yum Makhani nut-free?
Yes. Yum Makhani is finished with cream and saffron, not cashew. All in-kitchen Yum! Curries dishes are nut-free. (Off-site desserts contain nuts — please flag any allergy at order time.)
Is the chicken halal?
All meat is from halal-certified suppliers (supplier-level certification — certificates on request). Kitchen-level HMC/HFA cert in process.
How spicy is Yum Makhani?
Mild-medium — accessible to UK palates, family-friendly, no overwhelming heat. The depth is in the slow-cook reduction, not the chilli. Find it spicy at home? A spoonful of plain yogurt cools the heat (the way Indian households have done for generations).
Is Yum Makhani gluten-free?
Yum Makhani itself is gluten-free. If you're gluten-sensitive, pair with rice (also gluten-free) rather than chapatti. Please flag any severe allergy at order time so we can confirm cross-contact controls in our kitchen.
