Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Spiced layered flatbread (Lachha paratha)

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I enjoyed this one. I didn't substitute any ingredients and I though it came out great.

    Easy and fairly quick to make. Used mustard oil, Kashmiri chili powder and kasuri methi from Int'l grocery--made a difference. Mild heat, deep flavor. Could double the spices to good effect next time.

    Quick, easy, and very enjoyable. Lacking mustard oil, I used canola oil plus a little wasabi paste. The sauce was less creamy than some versions of butter chicken, but the butter flavor was there. I stirred in an extra tablespoon of cream. I just cooked 6 large thighs and there was enough sauce without being super saucy.

    Lovely dish. We made with the spiced layered flatbread.

    Really great tasting butter chicken sauce. The proportion of sauce to chicken is a bit off. I would double the curry ingredients next time. Definitely will make again
