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.

On a recent trip some friends wanted to visit Gewurzhaus. I saw the Butter Chicken blend and figured I would give it a try. This will be my “go to” for Butter Chicken. Great flavour, easy to make (I did it in a frying pan and I’m not a devoted measurer of ingredients. I’d not be in the running for MasterChef).
My family requests this butter chicken every year as the “Christmas Curry”, this will be the 4th year in a row 🙌❤️
It was highly recommended by a friend. So I picked up a jar while passing the store.
It was delicious ! So easy to prepare with pantry staples. Mr fussy pants ate every bite.
Hubby and I agreed this will now be on regular rotation.
Fast , easy and delicious . What else could we ask for.
