Tip
* If you require this recipe to be mild use Pataks brand Tandoori paste, if you like it to be a little hotter use Sharwoods brand Tandoori paste.
** Do not overheat once the milk is added as it can split. It will not taste any different but will not look as nice.
*** This recipe is so simple to adjust to your own taste and quantity. Once you have made it a few times the quantities will be approximate & altered to your own liking.
Serve with steamed rice, corriander, Naan bread and or Pappadams

Amazing! So yummy! Better than our local takeaway! Thank you!
Delicious butter chicken! I use a Thermomix recipe tandoori paste for this and it's a winner! Any leftovers also refridgerate and freeze well too. Thanks for the recipe.
My family LOVE this recipe, thanks for sharing
So easy but tastes great!
(I used two fresh tomatoes as i forgot to buy tinned, but it worked out fine)
Yummo! A regular in our house
Hi Aimee, thanks for trying the recipe. I have added some comment in regard to making the sauce thicker. Try it and see how you go.
To make it creamier, I guess there are a few options available. I have tried using coconut milk in lieu of carnation milk, that did work but changed the flavour completely, still very nice though. I guess another option would be to use natural yoghut in place of the milk, however I think that sauce would require thickening up.
Good luck and let me know how you get on.

Thank you all for your comments. I have adapted this recipe from a traditional non thermie version.
This is the first recipe I have added and after I added it then cooked it again myself I thought it may need to be re written. I am glad you all succeded and enjoyed it. I guess the recipe is a little forgiving.
I enjoy a lot of sauce, thick or thin. A good reason to clean the bowl up with some naan bread or similar.
If you reduce the amount of milk you effectively reduce the amount of sauce. To thicken the sauce, a little cornflour & water at the end & cooked a little longer will work.

We loved it. So good to find a nut free butter chicken
Good, I need to work out a way to make it creamier and thicker but was still nice!
So good. Husband loved it!
