Murgh makhani ranked the third-best chicken dish in the world; check out other Indian dishes on the list

Jujeh kabab from Iran, which is grilled chicken kebab, has been ranked the best chicken dish in the world. According to Taste Atlas, it is a staple of Iranian cuisine and has two popular variations – one which uses boneless chicken and the other which is prepared with meat left on the bone. “It is often enjoyed with grilled tomatoes, onions, lavash bread, or saffron rice served on the side.”

Jujeh Kabab is followed by Dak Galbi from Chuncheon, South Korea, and murgh makhani from India in second and third positions, respectively. Three other Indian chicken dishes — tikka, tandoori murgh, and chicken 65 — occupied the fourth, 19th, and 25th spots, respectively.

Check out the top 10 best-rated chicken dishes in the world:

*Jujeh Kabab, Iran
*Dak Galbi, South Korea
*Murgh makhani, India
*Tikka, India
*Ayan goreng, Indonesia
*Chicken tabaka (tsitsila tabaka), Georgia
*Frango assado com piri piri, Portugal
*Tajine zitoune, Algeria
*Fricasé de pollo, Cuba
*Pollo a la brasa, Peru

Describing murgh makhani, Taste Atlas noted that it is probably the best-known of all Indian dishes. “The dish originated in Delhi during the 1950s, when a man named Kundan Lal Gujral opened his restaurant called Moti Mahal. The restaurant’s cooks combined leftover marinade juices with tomatoes and butter, and then stewed the tandoor-cooked chicken in it, without even knowing that they have accidentally stumbled upon one of the most loved dishes ever and a future international delicacy,” it said.
