Butter chicken is a crowd-pleasing Indian dish, with a recognisable and delicious tomato and butter curried sauce. Here, we've piled it on a naan to make a dinner that's ready in less than 25 minutes.
Boxes and ingredients are packed in facilities that handles Peanut, Nuts, Sesame, Fish, Crustaceans, Milk, Egg, Mustard, Celery, Soya, Gluten and Sulphites. Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.
