Where the tikka masala is the favourite British curry, Butter Chicken is the Maharaja of curries in India and features at restaurants, weddings and everywhere in between! The intense flavours of slow-cooked sweet and tangy tomatoes, garlic, ginger, yoghurt, cream and spices come together to make a heady harmony of flavours that are actually addictive. Once you start, you can’t stop especially when served with delicious hot The Spice Tailor naans!

Although our sauce is called Classic Butter “Chicken”, it is actually vegetarian and very versatile. This sauce goes so well with almost everything and definitely anything that works with tomatoes.

Information

Anjum’s Top Tips

Cut the meat, fish/seafood or vegetables into generous pieces.

Heat 1 tsp of oil in a small pan, add spices and cook for 20 seconds.
Add the meat or vegetables and brown lightly before adding the base sauce. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Stir in the main sauce and fish/seafood (if using) and simmer for another 3-5 minutes or until the meat or other protein is cooked through.

OUR PERFECT Classic Butter Chicken

Use these handy tips to customise your dish

Add a knob of butter for that proper restaurant experience.

Try adding some large cubes of red onion and green peppers in with the protein for crunch and flavour.

For a smoky flavour, marinate skinned chicken breast or thighs in the base sauce, then grill until charred in places and finish cooking in the remaining sauces

We just cooked The Spice Tailor Classic Butter Chicken - and oh my gosh, it was the best ever. My youngest daughter - who whinges about every meal - ate the whole meal with nothing left on the plate. It had so much flavour and was so enjoyable. Thank you so much.

I'd just like to let you know your Classic Butter Chicken is the best I've ever tasted at home. It was so easy to use and even better to eat. I live in the country and we don't have restaurants up here that cook any meals like this, and I've tried so many other sauces at home, but this is by far the best one ever. Thank you

- Amanda

I bought your Classic Butter Chicken recently. Tried it last night. I want to congratulate you. You have managed to capture that Indian takeaway flavour and I didn’t need the large knob of butter. As a bonus, it doesn’t take forever to prepare and cook. Thank you so much
