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.

First thing I made after joining. I remembered what Nisha said about the frozen ginger and garlic cubes and bought some from our local Asian shop. Absolutely delicious meal. So keen to eat totally forgot to take a photo! Xx

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.

Hi Nisha, i don't have fenugreek leaves, so can i use fenugreek powder instead, but do i need to alter the amount i use so i don't ruin the flavour of the curry? Cheers :)
