    Submitted by jp15 on 24. March 2017 - 20:49.

    Delicious! For me it was more of a good curry rather than butter chicken. I followed the instructions and my chicken got a bit over shredded, but we didn't care because it tasted so good. Will make this a regular as it's tasty, quick and easy to make. Thank you.
