While both of these dishes are similar in looks, they differ the most in taste and flavor! The ingredient list is almost identical, however, what really highlights Butter Chicken vs. Tikka Masala is the amount of each ingredient used. Each recipe also features a different way to cook the chicken. You really can't go wrong with either dish and in my opinion, Butter Chicken vs. Tikka Masala should really be: "I'll take both butter chicken and chicken tikka masala, please!"
