Best Butter Chicken

Cheryl Anne Usherwood @Louisessister

Don’t you just hate it when your butter chicken feels like it was made from a packet or isn’t as rich, smooth, creamy or bursting with flavour as it should be? With a few tweaks over some time I feel like this is now pure perfection.

  6. 6

    Using the same pot, add your last tablespoon of butter and then your purée. Remember to do this on a low to medium heat as this will jump and you can get burnt. Shortly thereafter, add your chicken and it’s sauce. (Remember to put a splash of water in your blender to get most of your purée out).
