Heat a deep saucepan or pot over medium heat.
Add butter. Once melted, add diced onions and sauté until onions are translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
Add garlic and Quick Butter Chicken Blend, then stir regularly for 1 minute until the mix is fragrant.
Next, add tomato paste, and continue stirring the mixture regularly for a further minute.
Pour in the coconut cream and lemon juice, stir to combine, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. You can adjust the consistency of the mixture to your liking by adding water if desired.
Once the mixture is simmering, add chicken pieces along with any hard vegetables such as carrots or pumpkin, if desired. Turn heat down to low, and return to a simmer.
Continue simmering all ingredients for 10-15 minutes if you are using chicken breasts, or 15-20 minutes if you are using chicken thighs and any hard vegetables. Add soft vegetables such as cauliflower florets in the last 5-10 minutes of cooking.

Well this is definitely delicious. I made mine by mixing the herbs with yoghurt at the outset to coat and marinate the chicken thigh. Then I mixed in a whole tub of tomato paste to coat the chicken and cook it all together. I may’ve mixed a bit too much lemon juice, so added a bit of raw sugar to take the tartness away, and then added a tub of double cream. So, not a healthy version, but most definitely amazing tasting. I’ll be buying more of this spice for sure!
I’ve cooked it now several times and it has become my favourite dish 💕
So easy to make and so very lovely and fragrant. A real staple in our family. Will definitely try the vegetarian option. Would highly recommend this spice and the recipe.
