Chunks of chicken
Sit comfortably in yogurt
Tanning in tomato puree
The recipe covert
A spoonful of oil
A sprinkle of spice
Give it a few turns
To be transported to paradise
The butter slithers on top
Leaving a yellowy trail,
On a thick red gravy
Garnished with coriander, for detail
Oh, the invigorating aroma
Wafts across the room,
A grumble escapes the restless stomach,
A scent better than perfume.
I silently tip toe,
And drop a finger in
Letting the warm concoction
Melt me from within.
My eyes loll inside my head
My tongue, a blend of scrumptious,
One bite into the meat
The tenderness transports me to Columbus.
The meal is so wholesome,
It’s hard to explain
Oh, what a butter chicken does to me
Is absolutely insane.
