Big Forkers Hunt for the Best Butter Chicken in Delhi | Moti Mahal vs Daryaganj |

[@rishilshah698]

You guys do it every single time. Simply superb! I am a vegetarian, but I love watching all your videos and this one was just outstanding. It has become a tradition that I need to have a plate full of food while watching your videos. It is an absolute pleasure witnessing your love and passion for food!

[@TheBigForkers]

Awe, thanks bud

[@SidMewara]

Thanks for the lovely comment Rishil

[@jatinthapa_]

For real bhai 😂

[@ashwanikumartiwari2978]

Exactly the same reaction I had eating Moti Mahal butter chicken, lmao. Invented the dish and then forgot how to cook.

[@III_three]

So true...never going back to that place.

[@alakeshbora6443]

Ever since the last 2 weekends, I have been grabbing a cold one and watching your videos. It's incredibly fun!

[@TheBigForkers]

Glad you like them!

[@Oxytocin_NA]

that makes two of us!

[@iBeeRaut]

The genuine friendship between you two is the absolute best part of all of this. Love it, make more! I'm absolutely loving this whole food tour series, please keep doing more of these! However it does also make me ridiculously hungry 😇

Sid and Shanky are first cousins

As a progressive Delhiite I have no problem with Shanky eating fried rice with butter chicken.

No one was eating this combination until Shanky mentioned it. Now all you guys have opinions on it. WTF?

[@suryamukherji5344]

I’m 50 and have been having chicken all over Delhi . Both these at Panadra road have changed their butter chicken numerous times over a period . However both of them are not famous for butter chicken . Olsen says when they were small dhabas their desi chicken curry was the only thing they sold . The original butter chicken of Delhi remain Moti mahal / Jama Masjid road , old Delhi . However - one of the best chicken curries is - Rajender da dhaba next to the old Kamal cinema complex in Safdarjung enclave . Try it ! You will thank me . Cheers

[@TheBigForkers]

Rajendra is no longer good. I'm 47 and Havemore and Pandara are the golden standard. Did you see the testimonials at the end of the video

[@Viper.974]

In the vibrant tapestry of Delhi's culinary heritage, Butter Chicken reigns supreme-an epic saga of tender poultry enveloped in a luxurious cloak of creamy, spice-infused richness, embodying centuries of flavor and tradition- thank you guys, memories relived! Love from Doha 🇶🇦 Qatar!

Only Chef Saransh got it right. It's the invitation in Ashok Vihar, especially their boneless version, where they pull apart tandoori chicken so that every part is covered in that rich gravy. It pairs very well with the butter naan, which is garnished with dry coconut. Only true foodies of Delhi know the other two places, as they are not in tourist areas.

[@TheBigForkers]

We have to try it. Though the dry coconut has me worried

[@aayushjuneja6321]

Sid : I am only watching you, I am only watching you, I am only watching you. Shanky : ……… Sid : fuck it ill try once. Epic stuff

[@riddhisengupta6282]

The ultimate guide to Butter Chicken, they should make this part of culinary school curriculum. Minus of course the egg fried part of course 😀😀

[@TheBigForkers]

Culinary schools may need to update their curriculum with a Butter Chicken guide, minus the egg fried part, of course!

Butter chicken at Invitation ( ashok vihar) Mama s (rajender nagar) Gulshan (shahdra) Are the underrated ones must try

Thanks for sharing

[@nikhiliyer9371]

You guys are an awesome duo. Vivacious, fantastic content, humour in the videos. Rocky-Mayur and HOMP and the shows that followed featuring both of them were my go to shows. My limited observation from watching your videos makes me believe that you guys love Antony bourdain. It has that but of that 'chaap'. Nice to have new bunch of foodies dishing out content in their own inimitable way! Cheers guys! 🤟🤟🤟

We are being us, but yes we too feel this is in the same vein as Bourdain.

My favourite butter chicke was from a small shack called Sanjaa in Bund Garden, Pune ... tonnes of absolutely great memories. It has to be a tandoori chicken which is deboned and then blended into the gravy for me and I prefer it with plain tandoori rotis :) Fabulous episode guys you brought back a tonne of memories

I m from Delhi and I never experienced butter chicken so closely but by watching your video I think and feel that Havemore butter chicken looks more tempting 😊

I love these videos!! Watching from Austin, Texas

Hey Nick, thanks for watching

Awesome, I did a short series from Austin. Covered a few spots including Franklins BBQ. With my friend Adi.

[@AparnaSingh-v9t]

Did both of you tried all these butter chicken same day or was there a gap of a day or two ? If yes then doesnt it effect your judgement while rating since all the day you have been consuming the same food ?

[@TheBigForkers]

But that's the idea na. Eat it all at the same time so you can objectively differ between them. Well that's what we went with and I think we did a fair comparison. Haina?

Havmore everyday of the week and twice on Sunday.

The one you have to try - the only one comparable to Havemor is Pal Dhaba in Chandigarh. As someone who has been on many a quest to find a great one, that’s top tier.

[@SidMewara]

Shanky and I nearly had our arse blown out after a meal at Pal's dhaba

We have heard about its legend. Next trip

[@emergencyexit3967]

Moti Mahal is also heavily franchised, it is possible you guys ordered from a franchisee who doesn't care as much. Just my two cents.

[@TheBigForkers]

Quite possibly so. But that's a brand and quality management issue then.

When Sid started tasting Moti Mahal at 13:47 he said BC in a neutral accent. However, at 14:04 the way he says BC sounded more like Pancho closer to the city's food you're reviewing, precisely, the Punjabi way of saying it.
