    Absolutely delish!
    Had to make a couple of adjustments due to a last minute decision to cook...
    Used 1 tin of diced tomatoes instead of two tomatoes
    Didn't have cream so used 1cup of skim milk with 2 tbs of corn flour whisked together
    Added 3 tbs of almond meal in final 2mins of cooking to thicken the sauce
    Thanks so much for sharing, can't wait to try the real recipe when I'm more prepared!

    Submitted by heidi_hi on 30. April 2017 - 13:32.

    Amazing!!! And so much easier and quicker than the recipe I usually use.

    I blitzed some cashews first and set them aside as I only had tinned tomatoes - I added them to the bowl for the last 2 minutes of cooking to thicken the sauce.

    I also used fresh garlic and ginger that I whizzed up before adding the powdered spices and the chicken to mix through.

    I also cooked on 100'C as I was using breast and did it on reverse, soft speed just so it didn't shred.

    This made enough for a meal and enough to freeze a meal which is always a bonus.

    Thank you so much for sharing - this will now be our go to butter chicken recipe Smile

    A very nice, easy, creamy butter chicken recipe that we all loved. I changed to a tin of tomatoes and no tomato paste - as I didn't have any, swapped margarine for butter but only used 200 g cream. I also blitzed a hand of cashews in for flavour. Very tasty.
