Hi there Immctagg,
The reason that the spice mix is listed first is that I combine these in a small bowl when prepping the ingredients and it also shortens the ingredients list. I didn't stop to think that this would be a source of frustration.... I think I will add an extra preparation step at the beginning to reflect this, so people dont forget any of these in the final mix. Glad you are enjoying the recipe otherwise!
I love the recipe. I've adapted it slightly see below - and I reduce the amount of chicken and add some sweet potato

Yummo, first butter chicken i'Ve ever made. Delish
Outstanding. Crowd favourite. Butter chicken at its best. Minimum of 600 gms of chicken, as the amount of sauce that is made needs to be used on the meat. Can always have it as part of the left overs for lunch. Probably best to use about 800 gms of meat for the amount of sauce (based on several successful attempts).
Definitely a great butter chicken recipe. Would recommend it to anyone. Will be putting this on the winter recipe list.
Having cooked it a number of times, it is getting frustrating not having the ingredients listed in the order in which they are added to the bowl. While it is handy to have the Spice Mix at the top of the recipe, ideally they should be listed under the vegetable stock. I have made notes on my printed version of the recipe to avoid missing the addition of these important ingredients.
WOW!! THIS IS AWESOME!! my consultant recommended this recipe & being a huge indian fan thought i would give it a crack! i think the fact it was a winner with my 2yo was what made it all that much better!!Definitely putting this one in my favourites!!!!
This is our FAVE! Thank you...a winner EVERYTIME!
Happy TM31 and TM5 owner
Yes, it is all about the spices! Glad you are enjoying it
The BEST Butter chicken recipe I have tried and the simplest to make. I used my own Garam Marsala which I think is the real secret.
We enjoyed the flavours. Used macadamias instead of almonds, worked a treat!
Yum!
