Origin story
The true origins of butter chicken curry are widely disputed, but it is believed that it originated from a restaurant in Delhi. To cook a butter chicken curry, an Indian chef will generally add smoky pieces of marinated, tandoori grilled chicken into a mildly spiced, creamy, tomato-based curry sauce and finish it off with a generous knob of butter.
With our Classic Butter Chicken kit, you can recreate those moreish restaurant flavours at home in mere minutes – and with minimal effort on your part.
If you are really looking to treat yourself, finish it off with a good knob of butter and serve with hot naan.
Information
Cut your chosen protein or vegetables into generous pieces.
- Heat 1 tbsp. of oil in a small pan, add spices and cook for 20 seconds (use chilli from spice pack for extra heat)
- Add the protein or vegetables and brown lightly (if using fish or seafood, hold back and add this along with the main sauce in step 3). Add the base sauce. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in the main sauce and simmer for another 3-5 minutes, or until the protein or veg is cooked through.
Serves 2-3 with naans, rice or parathas.
As appliances may vary, these are guidelines only.
Please ensure food is fully cooked and piping hot throughout before serving.
If you don’t like whole spices, grind these in a pestle and mortar and add them with the main sauce in step 3 (before final simmer). Alternatively, if left whole, remove them with a spoon before serving.
Use these handy tips to customise your dish:
- Add an extra knob of butter for that proper restaurant experience.
- Try adding some large cubes of red onion and green capsicum in with the protein for crunch and flavour.
- For a smoky flavour, marinate skinned chicken breast or thighs in the base sauce, then grill in the oven until charred in places. Finish cooking the chicken on the hob in the main sauce until cooked through.
