Butter chicken is a spicy and creamy dish, flavoured with a lot of seasonings that make it a high-calorie meal choice. The butter and cream added to the dish also make it rich in saturated fats. High intake of saturated fats can lead to an increase in the levels of blood cholesterol and risk of heart disease. This dish also has a tomato based sauce that makes it significantly high in sodium. Too much sodium in your diet can increase the risk of high blood pressure. Here are 10 diet tips for people with high blood pressure.

Being very high in protein, one serving of butter chicken certainly can meet more than half of your daily protein needs. The spices added to this dish can be great for relieving cold and flu as it may help clear nasal and throat congestion. Besides, chicken is rich in vitamin B6 and B5, which play an important role in preventing heart attack and relieve stress.

Here are some tips to healthify butter chicken:

  • You can replace cream and butter with low-fat milk or yoghurt to negate the number of calories.
