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.
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.
