mwaaaaa i went to get the butter chicken stuff and the only place they wont send is too aus ... ... guess that counts me out!

Thank you Sandra, I ordered 3 packs, received them today and couldn't wait to try it, so used one tonight - I have tried various recipes for butter chicken, none hit the spot, but this butter chicken was the best authentic tasting one i've made. The recipe says for 3 people, but I think it could stretch to 4. Good value too

Yes, I'm so sorry about that, I wish I could send to Aussie, I've tried 3 times and every time Aussie customs won't let it through. Must cause it smells so darn good they kept for themselves! ha ha.
