Mix the spices together and add chicken meat and set aside.

Melt butter and saute onion and garlic for 2 mins at 100C speed 1.
Add chicken and saute for 5 mins, 100C speed soft, REVERSE.
Add tomato paste and evaporated milk with cornflour and simmer gently for 5 mins, 90C speed 1 REVERSE.
Serve with rice and steamed veggies.
****
You can cook rice first while steaming veggies (or even the chicken if you wish) in the varoma, then keep it warm in the thermoserver while cooking the butter chicken.
Or do the reverse... cook the butter chicken first then steam the rice and veggies. Either way works as long as you have a thermoserver!
This recipe is very flexible - you can cut down on the tomato paste or boost it to your taste.
You can use a longlife cream 250ml plus 1/2 cup of water if you feel like a more decadent experience...
And my best trick to extend it is to use less meat and cube pumpkin or potato very small, or even easier is to include a tin of chickpeas in the last step. Extends the recipe beautifully for very little effort.

We all loved this. I would half the chilli powder next time, a little spicy for the kids.
A favourite in our household. I love that it's quicker to make than a lot of other tmx curry recipes, but still full of flavour.
Love this! It really is very quick. I just left out the chilli powder the second time, as it was a little too hot for my girls.

Butter chicken FAST! - I loved it but it was more a chicken curry than a butter chicken. Replaced the chilli powder with curry powder. I reduced the tomato paste to 55ml and replaced the evaporated milk to 310ml coconut cream and chicken stock (90ml) up to 400ml in total. Only had about 320g of chicken and added one more teaspoon of cornflour at the end after it was cooked. Delish!!!
Yummm
Took on board some of the comments about changing the chilli for curry and added coconut cream in place of condensed milk. Awesome meal for the whole family!!!
We've had this meal sooo many times in our house and it never gets old. We recently changed it up and replaced the chicken with cubed haloumi cheese instead. It cuts the cooking time in half and cuts down our meat consumption. Just cube the haloumi cheese, heat for a few minutes in a frying pan and then add straight to the sauce once its cooked
So fast & yummy
Fast, easy and yummy!
Just so FAST and tastes amazing
Deliciousand simple for a novice like me....thank you
