Butter Chicken
Tip
For rice I add water to 1 litre line in bowl, weigh rice into simmering basket any amount upto 400 grams.
Rinse Rice under water, add basket to bowl
17 minutes, 100 degrees, speed 4, turns out perfect everytime
I have made and tried alot of butter chicken and this is what I have put together myself from all of them, for optimum ease and optimum taste.
Sometimes if i am using CHUNKY tomatoes etc, when it comes to the add everything else but cream, after adding everything else but BFORE adding the chicken i blitz on speed 5 for 5 seconds to make it a nice smooth sauce.
PLEASE rate if MAKE
for DAIRY free, change butter to oil, and cream to coconut cream

If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

KristenE: I was thinking to do the same- bulk mix the spices... how many tablespoons of spice mix do you use? or do you just do a tripple batch and just know to use 1/3 of the mix?
I have made this quite a few times, it is delicious and even more so if reheated. I bulk mix the spices in separate containers to make it even quicker to throw together. Thank you for the recipe
Have made these for first time smell amazing taste amazing ! Make chicke teriyaki to go in much cheeper with house full teenagers Sac Mobile Truck Repair
Yet another reason I love my thermie, thanks for sharing. Easy and delicious
MT75: Thanks for adding your tip on cooking the chicken longer in the TM31. I'm going to give this recipe a go. Did you find you had to omit or adjust any of the ingredients to accommodate our smaller bowl? Would love any other tips from TM31 users. Thanks
The best butter chicken recipe always a favourite thanks
This is a fave and on regular repeat in my house. It always gets demolished. I do find it makes too much sauce so I therefore add more chicken and less tinned tomatoes. Otherwise 🤤 😋
So yummy! Love how easy this recipe is and the taste is so good. 😋
I love this recipe it’s so easy and delicious thanks
Soooooo delish. I've tried lots of butter chicken recipes and our whole family agrees this one is the best!
