Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut chicken into small bite-sized pieces, place in large baking tray, add Tandoori Mix, mix thoroughly, cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
This is essentially Tandoori chicken. - 2
Once the Tandoori chicken has marinated overnight, place the baking tray (foil on) in a preheated to 350°F convection oven. Baking the chicken can take anywhere between 20 - 35 minutes depending on what kind of convection oven you have.
- 3
Place a large cooking pot on a stove set to medium-high heat. Pour in canola oil, and add in onions, ginger, and garlic once the oil is hot. Cover pot with lid, stirring occasionally until the onions turn translucent.
- 4
Add in coriander, cumin, turmeric, garam masala, cardamom, cinnamon, curry leaves, sugar, tomatoes, and a few pinches of salt and mix thoroughly. The tomatoes should prevent the mixture from becoming too dry, but if it does get too dry, add in some water.
- 5
Stir the mixture for a few minutes, and then pour it out of the cooking pot into a blender and blend until it turns into a creamy paste. Pour the paste back into the cooking pot, keeping the pot on low heat. Use a spoon or spatula to scoop out as much of the sauce as possible from the blender. There's no need to wash the blender for now.
- 6
Add the bay leaves to the cooking pot
- 7
Take the Tandoori chicken from step 2, and pour it, including all the juices, into the cooking pot, and mix thoroughly
- 8
Put cashew nuts into the (creamy) blender, and add 1/2 a cup of water, and a few pinches of salt. Blend until all the cashews are ground up and the mixture turns milky.
- 9
Gently pour the cashew mix into the saucepan, and stir.
- 10
Add in fenugreek leaves, and stir some more. Let it stand for a few hours before serving. Or better it, refrigerate overnight, and serve the next day.

This dish is a family favourite. I like to serve the butter chicken with fresh Naan from our local Indian restaurant. But store bought Naan is fine too. I freeze any unused Naan for next time. We don’t usually have any leftover butter chicken to freeze though! ireneq -
