Excellent , so full of flavour, the small amount of chilli gives the lovely warmth to the dish, a new family favourite. may I ask if in the future you could do a Kerelan curry, it’s one of my favourites. Regards Mark

I had such fun making this dish. The curry app gave me the confidence to use much more oil and spice than I would ever have normally use. I think in Indian cookery, you just need to go for it. I particularly liked how the Tandoori garam masala turned the chicken pieces fiery red. Go bold or go home! A very rich and satisfying dish to make and to enjoy. 👏🥰

Just made this for friends tonight who said it was the best they've ever had. They were going to take us to a fancy curry house in Newcastle but won't now as 'nothing is as good as this'! I followed the recipe exactly, except I used chicken thighs and cooked it slowly for about an hour and a half. Also added more cream! Absolute perfection, thank you Nisha.

A success in our house. I cooked it for the first time last week and we loved it. I have a question though. My wife is vegetarian. What is a good vegetarian alternative to chicken. I tried to use tofu but it would not soak up the flavours like chicken did.

Wow. What flavours. Thick creamy and a bit of a kick to it. One of my favourites from the collection. Once again done my Saturday evening curry’s proud to serve as authentic. Thank you. 😍

I've been cooking butter chicken for a few years. Which means I've tweaked it quite a bit. Hopefully, I do like this recipe and easier to follow than my tweaks.

This was very nice. I probably didn’t put enough butter in and was very generous with the spices which gave it an extra spicy kick. Every recipe I’ve tried has been excellent. The korma is probably my favourite.
