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!

This is a popular Indian dish among foreigners. It has a delicious taste, not too spicy, with a rich flavor from the spices and a slight creaminess from cashews. Give it a try! 😄
