Here’s how to make Butter Chicken with this great recipe!
All you need are the following basic ingredients and a packet of my special Butter Chicken spice mix and it couldn’t be easier.
600g x Boneless Chicken cut in 2cm cubes
1 x Packet of Butter Chicken Spice Mix
3 x Tablespoons Butter
1 x Medium Onion – finely chopped
135g x Tomato Paste (Watties)
300ml x Cream (subsitute with coconut cream if you don’t want it so rich)
150ml x Milk
- Place chicken & Butter Chicken Spice Mix in a bowl and toss chicken to coat.
- Melt butter in a pan & cook onion until translucent.
- Add chicken & fry for about 3 mins.
- Stir in the tomato paste, milk & cream and mix well.
- Simmer for 10 minutes or until cooked.
Serve with rice, Indian chutneys and salad.
Delicious! Just before serving you can stir through a little cream and sprinkle on a few toasted almonds and fresh coriander for that real restaurant look! You can swap the cream for yogurt, but it just isn’t the same. Yogurt won’t give you that rich creamy butter chicken sauce like real cream will, but if you insist, then go with Greek yogurt as least it’s creamy. You can use light cream if you’re worried about the calories.

You'll be pleased to know that The Best Butter Chicken Spice Mix is completely natural with no additives or preservatives. We source all our spices from just one company who we have a very good relationship with and know they have the best spices in town. Totally gluten free as well.
We also add Garam Masala which is made completely from scratch by hand, by us. We do this because we haven't found any really really good blends anywhere else and because you have to roast and then grind the spices, they need to be really fresh as well.
To guarantee quality and freshness we dry fry the spices first then grind them by hand. They are soooooo good. It's the most awesome smell when you start to grind them - mmmmmm yum! Try our awesome Butter Chicken Recipe, its fantastic and so easy to make.
