ReplyDeleteHot stuff. This is one of my husband's favorite dishes :) Buzzed!
ReplyDeleteYour dish looks fantastic. I've never seen it or heard of anything like it before. I especially like the curry paste, though I've never seen almond powder. I could just put almonds through my food processor until finely ground for the same thing?
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious! I can imagine mopping up the gravy with freshly made roti!
ReplyDeletethanks all you beautiful people for the beautiful comments, sincerely appreciate it very much.
ReplyDeleteI love Butter Chicken - what a great recipe!
ReplyDeleteOh - wow! This sounds amazing! I love the homemade curry paste...delicious! I could take a big bite of it now - as long as it was mild curry!
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone, do try out for its really simple style of cooking but do need quite a bit of ingredients.
ReplyDeleteThe butter chicken here in New Zealand is way much different, I guess it is designed for the Kiwi taste buds as it uses a lot of cream
ReplyDeleteThat is one easy recipe, I will try it out :)
ReplyDeleteWow, looks so flavourful... i always make this with a generous amount of butter... you have shown a good recipe with less butter :)
