Indulgence comes for a price. If you want to flash your cash while filling your tummy, try this opulent butter chicken.
The city has given a totally new makeover to the butter chicken and has managed to find itself a place in the list of the world’s most expensive foods!
Yes, this version of the dish invented by software professionals, Iran Bhagat Saxena and Padma Prasad, has been named the Anaarkali Butter Chicken and costs a whopping Rs 6,000. And if you are still wondering why this simple dish costs a pretty buck, then that’s because this dish is made in Evian water, Hunt’s tomato paste, Filippo Berio olive oil, Godrej chicken and a pack of the Danish Lurpak unsalted butter along with saffron, whipping cream and cheese, garnished with edible gold and silver and is packed in a glass container, which is microwave - proof. But if Hyderabad’s come up with the most expensive butter chicken, Hyderabad Times puts together a list of the priciest dishes that have also made the cut.
