      Recipe is created for
      TM 5
      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Tip

For rice I add water to 1 litre line in bowl, weigh rice into simmering basket any amount upto 400 grams.

Rinse Rice under water, add basket to bowl

17 minutes, 100 degrees, speed 4, turns out perfect everytime

I have made and tried alot of butter chicken and this is what I have put together myself from all of them, for optimum ease and optimum taste.

Sometimes if i am using CHUNKY tomatoes etc, when it comes to the add everything else but cream, after adding everything else but BFORE adding the chicken i blitz on speed 5 for 5 seconds to make it a nice smooth sauce.

PLEASE rate if MAKE

for DAIRY free, change butter to oil, and cream to coconut cream

    MT75: Thanks for adding your tip on cooking the chicken longer in the TM31. I'm going to give this recipe a go. Did you find you had to omit or adjust any of the ingredients to accommodate our smaller bowl? Would love any other tips from TM31 users. Thanks tmrc_emoticons.)

    This is a fave and on regular repeat in my house. It always gets demolished. I do find it makes too much sauce so I therefore add more chicken and less tinned tomatoes. Otherwise 🤤 😋

    This is my favourite butter chicken dish. Great flavours (I omit chilli for my child).
    it does make a lot of sauce so be prepared for that.
    I also use Passata instead of canned tomatoes as my child doesn't like the chunks of tomato.

    This really is very delicious and so easy. Note: My chicken was unsercooked in 12 minutes. Perhaps because my thermomix is TM31 model. I cooked it for another 7 minutes and it was fine. I even left half without cream as I liked it a little sharper and served the kids the creamy version. Thank you for sharing.

    Omg yum! Definatly the best one i have tried so far. Tastes just ike the store brought, with that delicious sweet taste.
    I will try less chilli next time as i think thats what made it spicy, however we just put extra cream once it was in our bowls to make it less spicy.
    Into the favourites for sure!
    I served this with the non fried fried rice, delicious!

    Submitted by GordoAndKosi on 15. March 2019 - 15:53.

    Super tasty! Thanks for the recipe

    Popular with everyone, for those who found it spicy, we had extra yoghurt on hand.

    Whislt following this recipe, i also made a portion for my vegan daughter in law - substituted Nuttelex for the butter, and when it got to adding the chicken, simply syphoned some of the sauce into a small saucepan with lighted crisped tofu and continued to simmer this whilst continuing with the bulk in the TM5 as per the recipe.

    To the remainder of the sauce in the TM, we added 1kg of chicken. Even with splitting the sauce - there was plenty left over to use as a quick sauce to add chicken leftover.

    I also added the butterfly utensil when I added the chicken to help stir it round.

    This is the first time making curry with my Thermomix and this recipe did not disappoint! I used slightly less chilli powder and my five year ate it - and she's quite fussy! I had a lot of sauce leftover which I'll freeze and use for a quick veggie curry one night. Thanks for sharing

    Have made this dish many times and every one loves it! I don't find the sauce to watery but there is alot left over so i freeze that sauce for a quick dinner. I just pan fry some chopped chicken and add the sauce once the chicken is cooked through to heat up. Much better than jar sauce!

    The best Butter Chicken recipe I have made to date! Two out of the three kids thought it was a little too spicy so next time I may reduce the chilli powder to 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon. It was superb..... and quick and easy to make. It'll be a staple in our household.
