This dish is a more sophisticated version of the ever popular Chicken Tikka Masala, which was invented as a way of using up leftover Tandoori chicken in Indian restaurants in the UK. Unlike Chicken Tikka, Butter Chicken (or Murgh Makhani) has its origins in Northern India and consists of chicken marinated in spiced yogurt, then cooked in a sauce rich with butter, tomato and spices including methi (fenugreek) leaves. The fenugreek gives a very particular ‘curry’ flavour, with a really sweet, fragrant scent that’s very recognisable. Here we are serving it with a tangy kachumber salad and rice.

A friend bought me this and other kits for my birthday. Easy to do and amazing flavour. Since purchased the spiceboxes and recipe book for ourselves and kits for friends.

This looks brilliant! Great to hear you're sharing the gift of spice!

5/5

We love the Easy Kits, they are so good and tasty. We did this one with the Tomato Rice and Naan Bread from the Curry Legend Book.

Good idea to spice up the rice! Sounds like a great evening!

5/5

This another family favourite, so much so that this time my 8 year old decided to cook it (under my supervision of course). She did an amazing job, and her and her younger brother absolutely loved this. A curry for all the family.

Brilliant! You've got a Spicery little chef in the making!

5/5

My 2 sons (age 13 & 12) and thier dad all got Spicery kits in thier Christmas stockings this year. My eldest son cooked the Butter Chicken with Katchumber salad for the family tonight and it was rated 5/5 by all of us! Yummy!

Glad you all enjoyed it- hats off to the chef!

This is on our boat in Mexico having taken the spice mixes out with us. Our absolute favourite butter chicken.

Wow! Both curry and ship look great!

5/5

We loved this curry! Easy enough to make once the baby is in bed. Creamy & delicious with a hint of spice and the kachumber salad is the perfect accompaniment.

Sounds well deserved!

5/5

I made this for my little fussy eater and she loved it. Really easy to make and smelt so authentic and tasty - not like the bland jar imitations out there. I would highly recommend it. I'm going to try it again but with vegetables for the Veggies in the house. Really lovely.

Glad she enjoyed it, that sounds delicious making it with veggies too- let us know how you get on!

5/5

So easy to cook, really enjoyed it

Glad you enjoyed this fragrant recipe- happy spicing!

5/5

This was delicious!! We added two courgettes. Everyone finished there plates

Sounds delicious with the addition of the courgettes- one for us to try ourselves!

5/5

Really lovely tried it mixing the yoghurt and tikka mix on a whole chicken and making the sauce separately with chunky veg blending and mixing with a little coconut milk. Voila

Wow - I'm sure that made a very impressive centrepiece on the table! And we're impressed by your improvisation! Great job, Char - we're so glad to hear that you enjoyed it.

5/5

The butter chicken is amazing! I’m not usually one for creamy curries so only added milk. But it tasted delicious. The salad was not what I expected, it was very subtle and the spice didn’t add much flavour wise.

It looks delicious, Natalie, we're so glad to hear that you enjoyed it! And we hope that you still found the Kachumber salad to be a nice accompaniment, albeit quite a subtle flavour.

5/5

My son is unable to eat butter chicken usually as he has a nut allergy so I thought I would give him the chance by purchasing this recipe kit. Well it didn’t disappoint! He thoroughly enjoyed it and so did I. It was flavoursome and had just the right amount of spice. Simple to use and one I would purchase again. The Kachumber salad was refreshing and reminded me of the mint sauce you get in Indian restaurants. I also received a free Spring Veg Pakora sachet and made some delicious asparagus pakoras as a healthy addition to the meal.

Gorgeous, restaurant-quality presentation, Vikki - fantastic job! We're so glad to hear how much you enjoyed this dish, and that your son had the opportunity to try a nut-free Butter Chicken. It's great to see you using your free sample as well - those asparagus pakoras look delicious!

5/5

Wow the takeaway meal at my dinner table. Spices still tingling my tongue an hour after eating ❤️

We're so glad to hear how much you enjoyed this dish - happy spicing!

5/5

This was amazing! Definitely our favourite kit so far! Everyone really enjoyed the flavours. Made half with sweet potato and halloumi, the other half chicken. Fresh naan breads were perfect for mopping up all the tasty sauce :o)

Butter chicken is always a crowd-pleaser! We're so glad to hear that this dish went down a real treat, and great job making a veggie version too - sounds delicious!

5/5

Wow, amazing so much flavour, first time cooking it, look forward to many more

It looks like you did a great job, Debbie - nice work!

5/5

Excellent service

5/5

Turned out amazing! A little heavy on the onion, which I find is a bit of a pattern with these kits. I tend to need about half the amount of onion that they recommend.

5/5

As usual the service and products are second to none
