    Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed it I used a can of tomatoes instead of the paste. I made the sauce in the thermie then simmered on the stove. It was delicious.

    Best Butter Chicken! But had to check original recipe to confirm 2 tsp of salt. My family also are not coriander fans so reduce the coriander to 1/4 tsp. I tend to make the sauce and cook in oven or on the stove top as I still shred the chicken in Tm5. Sometimes it add a tie of tomatoes - 400g and tin of lite cooking cream-300ml.

    For some reason, I never liked Butter Chicken. I tried this & absolutely love it. So quick & easy to make after a long day at work and take away is tempting.

    Just wondering if you can replace the almonds with a non-nut ingredient? My daughter has multiple allergies and nuts is one of them.
