Packed with flavour and simple ingredients, this easy, creamy and delicious butter chicken is a weeknight winner and will be a hit with the whole family. Serve with flatbreads or rice. Butter chicken is very much like chicken curry, only it tends to be creamier and richer than chicken curry, with heavier spices. If you're a curry lover, this is a must-try dish for you.

- Combine ginger, garlic, lemon juice, tandoori powder, and yoghurt in a large bowl. Add the chicken, then toss to combine. Chill for 30 minutes or overnight.
- Heat the ghee in a large deep non-stick frying pan over high heat. Cook the chicken for 5 minutes or until golden brown. Do this in two batches if necessary. Transfer the chicken to another plate and keep warm.
- Lower the heat to medium and add in butter. Add the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened, then add the spices and cook for a further 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Return the chicken to the pan, and add the tomato puree and bring to a simmer. Cook for 4-5 minutes, add cream and simmer gently for a further 15-20 minutes or until sauce has thickened slightly.
- Garnish with chopped flat parsley and chillies. Serve with flatbreads or / and rice.

This is just a perfect way to cook chicken!

This looks amazing also. I've never had butter chicken. My husband doesn't really like his food mixed together, which sometimes limits what we get to eat. Have a super start to the new week. hugs-Erika
That would be so good on a cold winter night, yum!

Hi Angie, We do love butter chicken...over a bit of carbs in our case...jasmine rice. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
I absolutely love butter chicken, and your recipe is just a bit different from others I have seen. I will have to look for the tandoori masala. Thanks, David (C & L)
Besides the spices, the use of ghee and butter bring so much more aroma and flavor to this dish.
