Topic: Looking for Butter Chicken advice

[Stephen Lindsay]

Wonka I think this is the recipe I posted - have made it several times and always found it delicious but it just takes a bit of time - well worth the effort!

The recipe was a bit flawed. I read 4 chicken breasts to be 4 whole breasts but with that amount there was not enough sauce. The sauce was just OK in my opinion. I ended up making a Tikka Masala recipe (just the sauce) and added almond butter to the whole mix. I loved the Tikka Masala sauce and it will be my go to recipe from now on (it was a Finecooking Magazine recipe).

I also made Saag Paneer and put aside some of the butter chicken sauce and added fried paneer to it for the vegetarians in the group. Hubby made potato and pea curry and my neighbour contributed with a chickpea curry that came from a recipe that I received years ago from a Sikh co-worker.

All in all the meal was a big success.

ps I did add fenugreek leaves as suggested and I think that was a good call.

I had one Indian friend at the party and she was very impressed with the dishes.

The almond butter is an interesting twist! Did it turn out anything like your local Indian restaurant's version?

The kids say no, but they said that I've almost got it.
