    Best butter chicken recipe I've made by far! I added 3T ground cashews in the last 2 minutes & next time will add a little chilli for extra spice. Served with homemade naan - definitely a keeper!

    Kettle"Kettle" Wondering if anyone has frozen this dish and did it rehash ok? Live with many health issues and wanting to make for freezer meals, just not sure because of the cream in sauce

    This is the absolute best! We recently bought butter chicken and the whole family complained how bland it was as they are used to this recipe. Have been cooking it for a few years now. A favourite w all 4 kids

    A good recipe for kids. Lacking the kick chilli and fresh ginger and garlic would give. Cooked chicken for last 10 minutes only and was good.

    Love this recipe. So easy to make. Didn't have any tomatoes 🍅 so didn't include them and also didn't set the chicken in the curry mix for 30 mins. Lots of flavour ❤️

    RosK: yes easily.. We had it last night, I did put extra chicken in... approx 750gsm but it made enough for 3 adults, 1 child, and 2 large portions left over for lunch.
