Butter Chicken

Absolutely delicious definitely give it a go

Just made this recipe, WOW I’m impressed. No more buying it 4 this house. Can’t believe how good it is with only a few ingredients. Thanx Paulene 4 your great recipes

This is as good as any Resturant Butter Chicken. Some like it spicy but I have one child that doesn’t like spicy so I just put a dash of cooking cream in his bowl.

Made this in the hopes it was almost as good as restaurant quality. Yum! We had to add 2 tablespoons brown sugar as it was a bit tart even though we added the cream. Highly recommend! Definitely saves us a lot of $$ as indian takeaway can be pricey to get regularly. My boys 4 and 8 lovvveed it! Thankyou for another winner! This has been added to our rotation. All I need to learn now is how to make palak paneer, malai kofta and garlic naan ! Lol

Healthy & Tasty!
Quick to throw together on my lunch break & was ready for the family in the evening. Swirled a tiny bit of single cream through before serving.
Next time I might experiment with adding spinach before serving plus use fresh ginger.

i make this regularly . the whole family love it

Made this at the weekend , was away at our static holiday home , goes without saying I have a slow cooker there as well as at home !! Thought I would give this recipe a try , never had butter chicken before but it was so simple and incredibly tasty , put it on in the morning and was able to go off and make the most of our time away , fabulous !!

Just made this today and it was so delicious even my fussy 8year old loved it I used plain flour and left out the chilli, I also used passata and left out the cilantro, and when it had half hour left i put creme fraiche

Made this tonight for my family, and everyone devoured it!
A few variations; I doubled the spices in the recipe, used coconut cream instead of coconut milk, and added about a teaspoon of sugar. I also added about 150ml cream in the last 30 mins of cooking.

Made this today for the first time and whilst it was very nice, it was missing something. I added a spoon of brown sugar but it possibly needed more and I may try more tomato paste next time. My partner liked it but said it just wasn’t as rich as a restaurant butter chicken. Still a tasty and easy dinner though.

This was a definite winner, thank you!

Loved this recipe! I should of doubled the ingredients for more leftovers 👏🏻

Yum yum yum

I made this last night and it is now on the list of permanent recipes for our family! It was awesome and really hit the spot as I love Indian but with family allergies I needed a recipe with no nuts that still had the taste – this did indeed!
I didn’t quite have enough tomato paste (just under) but it was delicious anyway! I think I will avoid cream as I had to limit chilli because of the children. Fantastic dish & easy to make!

I made this tonight. I used 1.5 x the spices needed and I didn’t add the cream at the end. I bought the cream ready to use but after taste testing I thought it was great and didn’t want to dull the flavour with the cream. We all really really enjoyed this dish. Very flavoursome and much better than the jars and packets. Will definitely make it again 🙂

I will never buy butter chicken again!!!
This was so easy to do and having 4 very fussy eaters go back for seconds is an amazing feeling.
If there was 10 stars… I’d be hitting every single one of them

Made a few small changes but the whole family absolutely loved this recipe! I puréed the onion with a little sauce before I put the chicken so it was nice and smooth. Used coconut cream instead of milk just because it’s what was in the cupboard but it made it nice and creamy so didn’t need to add the flour. I also left out the chilli but decided afterwards it needed a little something extra so added a few teaspoons of korma paste. It was AMAZING! Even better the next day.

Such a tasty meal & a no fuss recipe. Used a little less tomato paste to suit our taste. This will be on regular rotation!

I’ve cooked this a few times in the past month I enjoy it so much. I do not like and cannot tolerate spicy hot food, particularly many Indian dishes, so leaving out the chili is all I do and I still love the taste this brings. For me the cream and coriander near the end are a must.

Very yummy! Nice and creamy, definitely needed the extra cream in the last half hour. I did less chilli powder for the kids, but would put it all in if it were just me eating it, and would add extra curry powder and tomato paste if it were just me also. I added steamed veggies to the bowls (carrot, broccolli and capsicum). It was a hit with the kids! Great recipe x

Oh my wow 😍🤤 made this for first time & was so yum!!! I followed recipe & was just right for my family!! There is enough left over for tomorrow or I’ll freeze for later!! Thank you for sharing a great recipe 😊

Haven’t had much much luck with other butter chicken recipes or jar/packet versions. My daughter, who loved butter chicken, has always thought they were just “okay” but this recipe was a hit for the whole family.

Love this recipe. I add a little bit more cream at the end as my little girl doesn’t like it too spicy, but I don’t think it needs messed with in any way

This recipe turned out amazing. Next time I’ll double the Chilli powder and add more salt for my personal liking.

Made this today. Added a T of stevia just to sweeten it for the kids (so it was a bit more like takeout) and all plates were cleaned. Served with steamed veggies, rice and garlic naans. Very tasty.

Decent curry but not like the proper butter chicken at an Indian restaurant.
Added cream at the end for the kids to make it milder for them. Also added a cup of frozen peas last 5 min.

The best butter chicken, by far!!

So so delicious! I will be having this again and again!

Never had butter chicken before but made it tonight and had empty plates it was lovely
I used diced chicken breast instead of thigh
Thank you for the recipe will definitely be making it again

Such a delicious recipe!! I changed it up a little by mixing chicken thighs and chicken breasts, I use chili and ginger paste, plus I blend the sauce with a stick blender. I then add cardamonm pods cook for 5 mins then take them out before adding the sauce and chicken to the slow cooker.

This recipe is absolutely divine! I left out the cilantro and added some thickened cream just before serving this with rice. The whole family loved this and happily licked their plates clean. An extra bonus with this recipe is I no longer need to buy store bought jars for butter chicken #winning 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing this with us 😊

Interesting, this was tasting great but the addition of cream (less than stated) reduced the richness of the taste. I tried another recipe last time & will probably revert, but might try this again without the cream!

My family loved this 😀

Definitely a family favourite I halve the chilli piwder quantity and I always put a good squirt of tomato sauce in as well, It just seems to enhance and give depth the flavour.

Best butter chicken I have made I added 300mls of thickened cream at the end and stirred in some brown sugar

This was amazing! We loved it!

Do you think I can freeze this?

Absolutely love this recipe. I added a few of my own spices as well, and will definitely be using it again

This is a menu regular in our house! Feeding a toddler so i leave out the chilli and still delicious. Thanks for such a great easy delicious recipe Pauline.

Butter chicken has been a regular dish in our house I usually buy the premade dishes from Woolworths or Coles. I finally tried out this recipe that was going around the page and it did not disappoint. Only changes I made was to double the spices, left out the coriander (not a fan) and added 300ml cooking cream in the last 30mins definitely will be making it like this from now on 😊👍🏻

OK iv seen everyone comment about and share this recipe saying its amazing I followed the recipe and found it has way to much tomato paste all I can taste is tomato dosent taste pike butter chicken unless its just me but for next time I know not so much tomato paste other wise great recipe 🙂

Both my Husband and i loved this meal. Im not a huge spicy person so added the cream and it was perfect!

Not quite restaurant quality although had lots of flavour and mild heat …….the fussy eater who says everything is too spicy enjoyed the dish. I cooked this following the recipe and found it a bit to runny when finished.
On the ease to create scale I rate this 7/10

Really nice but needed the cream at the end. We didn’t not find it spicy at all. I added the chilli as per the recipe and my 7 month old, 2 year old and 3 year old all loved it. It was a little mild for me.

I forgot to add my star rating to my review

My kids made this for dinner while I was at work, so not sure if they added & measured everything correctly lol, but we all found it delish! Will definately add the cream in next time 🙂

My hubby, son and I loved this butter chicken recipe. I didn’t add the coriander because I don’t like it. Will definitely be making again and again. Thankyou for sharing😀👍

Love this!
So first time ever cooking with a slow cooker. I picked this recipe and it did not disappoint everyone in my family agrees this is better then store brought jars.

• I left out the coriander
• and left out the chilli (for my toddler)

• added about 150-200ml cream half an hour before serving.

Turned out great:)

I made this today and it turned out great.

I added some cream 1 hour before serving, and also added a few tablespoons of cashew butter and brown sugar to sweeten it up a bit as I found it a bit bland when I tasted it. But after adding these few things it was very tasty!

I served it with some saffron rice also which made the whole dish super yummy.

So easy, so yummy 😋
Made exactly to recipe, enjoyed by all

This is so yummy. I used a small can of coconut cream and a small UHT of lite evaporated milk and then some coconut essence just to lower the fat a little – and I will add less curry powder as we use keens and my guys found it too spicy!! But it was the best tasting recipe ever and I’ve been searching for a great butter chicken recipe forever!!

This was lovely. I will do it again and add extra chilli as i love chilli. My fussy son liked it too

Too spicy. Also it waa nice but just felt like it was missing something. I’d say it’s definitely missing butter.

I made this for the family with a 4 year old and 2.5 year.old. they don’t mind Spicey food and regularly eat butter chicken. I.made this with the half recommended amount of chilli (so 1/4 tsp). It still packed quite a punch! Perhaps try this with 1/8 tsp if making for younger members then increase chilli next time til youbat happy with volume.
