Midweek Butter Chicken Curry

Easy Midweek Butter Chicken

Chicken Curry, is such a staple meal in so many households, always a good solution to when you are lost to what to make. There are so many version of chicken curry available, and when I make a proper Butter Chicken I do premarinate then grill or bbq the tandoori chicken. . But sometimes time and forward planning is not always on your side, this is perfect recipe for satisfying that craving and making midweek.

A cheats version that still is packed with flavour, you can up the spice game to your own levels with another green chilli and serve with roti, paratha, naan or basmati rice.

In addition to my normal spices, I also use a premade blend for butter chicken, which I find just adds the final touch to this, it contains a blend of spices to really pack a punch.

The sauce could easily be adapted to use paneer, tofu, mushrooms or quorn instead as a vegetarian alternative.
