Indian Cooking Sauces
Butter chicken is a classic of Indian cuisine. The dish originated in the iconic restaurants of Old Delhi, where the chicken was grilled in a tandoor (oven) and served in a mild, creamy tomato and butter sauce. Complete your meal by enriching this sauce with fresh tomato and chicken or paneer, and serve the dish with basmati rice and mango chutney. *Do not microwave, see cooking instructions below.
1 x 375g Butter Chicken
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add approximately 500g of your chosen protein – chicken, lamb, beef, or a vegetarian alternative such as paneer – and stir-fry until lightly browned
Add the cooking sauce and stir well to ensure the protein is evenly coated. Cover and simmer on a low to medium heat for approximately 20 minutes, or until the protein is fully cooked through
Allow the sauce to thicken to your preferred consistency. For an extra-rich and creamy finish, stir in approximately 50ml of double cream. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander and serve with Tilda Pure Basmati Rice for the perfect midweek meal.
Tip: This cooking sauce has a mild heat level. If you prefer a little more spice, simply add a teaspoon of red chilli powder.
