Shan Butter Chicken- Pack of 3

The butter chicken is delicious with the perfect amount of heat. I brought it to work for lunch and my coworkers couldn’t stop asking what smelled so good, they all thought I got take out.

I eat a lot of Indian food. Usually I use the individual spices but decided to give this a try. Firstly it is incredibly salty. It surprised me and I hadn’t added any additional salt. It’s also very very spicy. On a scale of 1-10 I’d probably put it at a 7. I ended up adding a whole cup of cream total just to get it to a palatable point. It was also missing a certain flavor. I tweaked the recipe once I tasted it the way the box suggested and added the full cup of cream instead of the half, I added a tablespoon of sugar and a tablespoon of Garam masala and a tablespoon of crushed fenugreek leaves. Once I tweaked it we were able to eat it for dinner. Don’t think I’ll buy it again but with the other 2 boxes I’ll probably only use a small amount of the seasoning as a marinade

If you've failed at trying to make restaurant-quality Butter Chicken, this is what you need. My family loves it and says it tastes just like the Indian restaurants. I add a little more yogurt and a couple dashes of sugar to sweeten it a bit more.

I usually make my own spice blends, but this one was perfect. I changed the recipe up a little. I deglazed the pan after sauteing the chicken with a little stock. I then added a can of tomato puree, and cooked it out for two mins, then added a cup of milk. Put the chicken back in and simmered for 15 mins. Turned off heat, and added a half cup of butter. No need to add cream, came out perfect. I also use chicken tenderloins chopped into 2 inch chunks. Key is also to marinate your chicken overnight in the spice mix, yoghurt and lemon juice.

I love this! I use it sparingly so a box makes 3 meals for two people and the taste is still delicious. If you want to cook for a family, add more chicken but still taste before you add the entire package. You also can leave out the simple cream. I never have simple cream on hand. Actually, I didn’t even know what it was until I started using this seasoning package.
