This dish is a more sophisticated version of the ever popular Chicken Tikka Masala, which was invented as a way of using up leftover Tandoori chicken in Indian restaurants in the UK. Unlike Chicken Tikka, Butter Chicken (or Murgh Makhani) has its origins in Northern India and consists of chicken marinated in spiced yogurt, then cooked in a sauce rich with butter, tomato and spices including methi (fenugreek) leaves. The fenugreek gives a very particular ‘curry’ flavour, with a really sweet, fragrant scent that’s very recognisable. Here we are serving it with a tangy kachumber salad and rice.

This kit contains the recipe and all of the spice blends needed to cook the different components of the meal - all you need to do is add a few fresh ingredients and follow the simple steps!

We brought this on holiday to Portugal for new year. Could not do any activities outdoor as it was raining for 2 days ( first would problem!!). This pack was excellent. Added celery to the salad. Such a great way to cook for yourself on holiday. Well done to the Spicery. Feliz Ano Novo.

We're pleased to hear that this butter chicken kit went down a storm - the clean plates speak volumes! We hope the sun came out for the rest of your holiday!

Absolutely totally delicious! We have been cooking the Spicery Butter Chicken for many years and it never fails to impress. It would be an incredibly sad day if this kit was ever discontinued.

It's one of our favourites too and we're glad it remains so popular!

We love the Easy Kits, they are so good and tasty. We did this one with the Tomato Rice and Naan Bread from the Curry Legend Book.

10/10 - amazing. We pray the Spicery never remove this kit as it is has been our go to, quick, easy and absolutely delicious meal for many years. We finely slice onions, cook those down and add them to the curry at the beginning and that adds another dimension.

Simply perfect for Christmas Eve treat! Such a gorgeous recipe, super tasty and the salad complements the curry really well. The spice kits make it so simple to cook a fool proof meal.

I used chickpeas instead of chicken, for a change and it worked very well. I am trying to teach my son to cook so I have bought various spice packs to help him. The cucumber spices worked well also.

It’s not often I get to cook these (my partner does more of the cooking) but I enjoyed cooking this from beginning to end. So easy with clear instructions. Such a delicious meal I am sooooo glad we have a second spice kit of this meal!

Absolutely delicious - 2 out of 3 of us opted not to have the extra yogurt. The flavour of the Butter Chicken is exquisite, and the Kachumber salad - well, I could eat it all day long! So glad that I found The Spicery- it has really made me look forward ...

The recipe was super easy to make, and the salad just made it all the more nicer with the lemon cutting right through the curry. The parathas were tasty too.

My son is unable to eat butter chicken usually as he has a nut allergy so I thought I would give him the chance by purchasing this recipe kit. Well it didn’t disappoint! He thoroughly enjoyed it and so did I. It was flavoursome and had just the right a...

The butter chicken is amazing! I’m not usually one for creamy curries so only added milk. But it tasted delicious. The salad was not what I expected, it was very subtle and the spice didn’t add much flavour wise.

Really lovely tried it mixing the yoghurt and tikka mix on a whole chicken and making the sauce separately with chunky veg blending and mixing with a little coconut milk. Voila

We loved this curry! Easy enough to make once the baby is in bed. Creamy & delicious with a hint of spice and the kachumber salad is the perfect accompaniment.
