Very yum for a quick butter chicken option.
Very quick & simple to make – a tasty meal. Don’t skimp on the spices and seasonings – it needs them all! Works as well with coconut milk as it does with creamed coconut.
Love this recipe when you feel like butter chicken right now and haven’t had time to marinate the chicken ahead…! I always add a tsp of cumin and tsp of ginger to the recipe…apart from that it’s perfect!
easy and delicious. I added some extra spice as well because we like ours with a bit more bite. Super simple to make
A little bit of extra spice/flavour would be nice so next time I would add some more pepper and a dash of clove or mixed spice and some Chilli. Was quick and easy to make.
Delicious!
