I like to think of Butter Chicken as the cozy, creamy cousin of Tikka Masala. While Butter Chicken is all about that rich, buttery sauce, Tikka Masala has more of a tangy, spicy kick.
From my experience, Butter Chicken tends to be milder and more buttery, while Tikka Masala has a more robust, spicier flavor profile.
Butter chicken is creamier and slightly sweeter, while tikka masala is spicier and more tomato-forward. Both are delicious but come from different regional influences in India.
