Spice and easy from the supermarket, this is the best butter chicken I have ever tasted, I've put other friends onto this range of spices and they are really impressed by the quality of the taste. Recipe is included on the packet.

Sandra, your spices worked a treat, even my husband enjoyed his first taste of butter chicken. Your spices made it simple and quick to make and as I dont make it often having your premixed spices saves me buying spices I wouldnt normaly use. I have an Indian friend who makes me butter chicken but its a bit much for my husband. Hers is made from scratch but alot of work.

I always use the alison Holst recipe for butter chicken, tastes pretty good for me.I also have used chicken pieces in it instead of breast.If anyone wants the recipe give me a yell.

we had a jar of pams b/c sauce in the end, made it intoa casserole and cooked it for an hour which bought out the spices even more. pams not the very best but still very nice :)

I think the Pams jar of Butter Chicken is the best on the market, but cant beat making it yourself....

I find the butter chicken I make tastes nicer if I marinade the chicken in a tandoori paste for a while first

ok I have been through all of the old threads, can someone give me a recipe that tastes like a butter chicken you would buy from a restaurant?

try the packet ones, i have tried 3, 2 in a packet and one from a tin, one was nicer than the others but cannot remember which. I know people will say make it from scratch is much better but in my opinion not always, and some have tomato in the recipe, i dont put that in.

I make my own by frying up my chicken, onions and red capsicum, then adding garlic and curry powder (about 2tbsp curry) fry off abit to cook the curry powder, then add 1 tin tomatoes and 1 tin Coconut Cream. You can add more curry at the end if you need to to get the taste right. I got this recipe by accident one night when I was just chucking stuff in the fry pan and out came Butter Chicken!!

You should try the Butter Chicken that Sandra22 sells.It is just the best.3 sachets for just $11 something.And simple to make.It takes as long as it does to cook the rice.Wouldnt have any other.

Butter chicken....could there be another food item with such a bad name?! Butter = Fat, Chicken = having worked for a chicken grower years ago.... ;-(

Butter Chicken-the most boring , bland (Non) Indian dish of all......

maybe you think so .. but considering that not too many years ago, many untravelled NZers wouldn't have been game to try it, it's OK. Other cultures have given us a lot more choice, than we had when I was a kid, either by new residents or more world travel.
However, I do get thoroughly pithed off with those who choose to settle here, for a better lifestyle than their land of birth & then criticise what we have traditionally eaten. ;o) We ARE open to change.

How would you know? I just prefer an Indian dish with some grunt and actual layered flavours with some heat and would put ten or so dishes in front of NZ's number 1 choice for a 'Curry'....

You seriously can't have tried the best butter chicken in NZ yet!It's much better than the restaurants even make.And my recipe has lots of grunt and several layers of fantastic flavour - you should try some!

Yep sandras butter chicken mix must be much better than any traditional Indian recipe ... and so cheap - 3 packets only $11.85 including postage ... surely you cannot go wrong there - why would you ever WANT to have an authentic recipe after all?
