It was here that he experimented with cooking marinated chicken in a tandoor. This experiment gave birth to tandoori chicken, a dish that would become a staple in Indian restaurants worldwide. The partition of India in 1947 brought Gujral to Delhi, where he opened Moti Mahal, a restaurant that would soon revolutionize North Indian dining. The most famous of these is the butter chicken, originally made by simmering leftover tandoori chicken in a rich tomato and butter gravy to appeal to customers the following day.
