excellent! I added a bit sugar for the kids
Delicious, makes enough for a family of 4 and plenty left over. I added a bit sugar as my kids love it a bit sweet
So darn tasty!! I've been on the hunt for a good TM butter chicken, and this is my favourite. I left out the fenugreek leaves and it was still amazing. Thank you!! 🤤
This is my go to butter chicken recipe! I only use chicken breast and usually only about a kilo. I love this recipe and always get great comments. Love it served with a good dose of coriander.
delicous!
Delicious Recipe.
This reciepe is great! thankyou, I loved the consitstency and the mild tast of the curry.
I made it with two chicken breast and made 4 nice servings.
Yum! A winner with the whole family
I left out the fenucreek leave as we didn't have any, and I only added about a tblsp of coconut oil to saute the onion. I didn't add anymore.
Hubby said it was better than the takeaway shop!
My new favourite butter chicken. Both kids, and fussy husband ate it, so I call that a big win, thanks 😊
Love this!
