\n\nWait until you try this delicious, quick and easy butter chicken recipe. It’s often a favourite those who enjoy Indian food probably because it is a little milder in taste compared to other curries. Being milder is also why it is often a family favourite in many households. We love Indian food in our house, especially a lot of the more traditional dishes with a lot of flavour.\n\n
\n\nIngredients (serves 6)
\n\n
\n\n- \n \t

\nInstructions
\n\n
\n- \n \t

- \nAdd all of the remaining spices and saute for another couple of minutes. Add the coconut cream/heavy cream and turn the temperature down. Stir in the sweetener if you are using it.\n \t
- \nAdd the diced chicken and simmer in the sauce until the chicken is tender and cooked through, usually for about 20-25 minutes. Note that if you use chicken with bones intact, this dish will take up to 45 minutes or longer to cook through.\n \t
