The other day I was eating some butter chicken (an India dish with chicken in a creamy, mildly spicy, tomato sauce/gravy) and as I was enjoying it I thought, wouldn’t this be great served over fries and cheese instead of rice? (aka Butter Chicken Poutine) Poutine is a dish where fries are served topped with melting cheese and gravy and I was thinking that the butter chicken ‘gravy’ would be amazing in poutine form. I mean you really can’t go wrong throwing a really tasty gravy on top of fries along with cheese that is all melty and good? It didn’t take long for me to whip up a batch of butter chicken and make the butter chicken poutine and it was amazing! This butter chicken poutine is definitely going to be on my recipe list for my next football party!

SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!! How in the world am I ever going to lose any weight? Butter Chicken? Yes. Poutine? YES! Cannot wait to make this! Thank you!
This is NOT poutine without the gravy!!
Yummy!
I'm not a big fan of butter chicken, but my husband tried the President's Choice Butter Chicken Poutine Kit the other day and he enjoyed it. I do make butter chicken for him at home sometimes, so I'll have to try this next time. I'd much rather make it myself! 🙂
This isn't a recipe, it just says to put butter chicken on fries.

Sounds good (and deceptively simple) but one of the three ingredients is “Butter Chicken,” which links to a recipe with 17 ingredients. One of those ingredients is “Tandoori Chicken” which itself has an additional 12 ingredients.
If I happened to get some Butter Chicken delivered I might consider serving it over french fries with some cheese curds, but no way I’d make this from scratch.
This Butter Chicken Poutine idea is such a creative twist on two beloved dishes! The combination of creamy butter chicken gravy with crispy fries and cheese curds sounds amazing. I’m curious if the recipe suggests any specific type of cheese curds for best melting? Also, how do you balance the spice levels in the sauce compared to traditional versions?
What a brilliant twist on classic poutine! Combining butter chicken gravy with crispy fries and cheese curds sounds like an absolute dream. I’m curious if the spice level holds up well when mixed with rich cheese, or if it’s best served mild. Either way, my family would love this recipe! Also, after cooking something so decadent, a quick space game break seems perfect for relaxing.
This fusion idea is brilliant! Butter chicken over fries with cheese curds sounds like a match made in heaven. Can’t wait to try this unique twist on two classics! By the way, I often enjoy free dress up games while planning my next cooking adventure.
Brilliant mashup! The creamy gravy over hot fries and melting curds looks incredible.
