I see you are on the shore so go to the indian spice shop in Birkinhead I think its called Spice n Easy but they do brilliant spice kits with instructions buy the Chicken Tikka Marsala its my favourite they are easy and authentic and delicious. (not that expensive either)

Butter Chicken Delhi-style

Murgh makhani (butter chicken) is a popular dish and is easy to make at home and, unlike many of the takeaway versions, is tangy and delicious without being too sweet!
Serves: 4
Ingredients
4 whole chicken legs, skinless

Marinade:
5 cloves garlic, crushed
2 cm ginger, finely grated
½ tsp paprika
1 tsp chilli powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp (heaped) of each: ground coriander, cumin, turmeric and garam masala
2 tsp lime (or lemon) juice
1 cup natural yoghurt
2 Tb cooking oil

Mahkani Sauce:
2 tbsp butter (or ghee)
3 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
1 cm ginger, grated finely
1 tsp each: coriander, turmeric, garam marsala,
½ tsp chilli powder (or to taste)
½ tsp paprika
1 cardamom pod, split and crushed
800g crushed tomatoes, canned are fine
1 tsp lemon juice
25g unsalted butter
100ml cream
Fresh coriander to garnish
Method

The first stage is to marinate and grill the chicken. In a bowl, mix all of the marinade ingredients together. Make deep gashes in the chicken meat and add the chicken to the marinade, rubbing the marinade into the chicken to coat well.Leave for 1 hour or overnight.

Pre-heat the grill to hot. Lay the chicken pieces on a wire rack over an oven dish and grill until well coloured (a bit charred in places is even fine as what we’re trying to do is cook the chicken in a way that emulates as closely as possible the tandoor ovens of India!) Turn over and continue cooking until the chicken is almost cooked through. Lower the temperature if you need to, to ensure it is not too coloured as it continues to cook.

Prepare the sauce: In a large pot, melt the butter and add the garlic and ginger and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add the spices and fry for a further few minutes, stirring. Add the tomatoes and lemon juice and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken pieces and simmer for 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Finally, stir in the butter and cream and season to taste. Garnish with chopped coriander and serve with warm naan or chapat
