The Australian Women’s Weekly version of this classic curry. Can easily be halved. Make this a day ahead to let the curry flavours develop, serve with saffron rice and chapatis. I’m not a fan of dark meat so I normally make my butter chicken with breast meat, diced.
If you’re looking for a chicken tikka masala recipe that tastes just like the one you get at your local curry house, this is about as close as you can come without buying a tandoori oven. The trick is to add a little liquid smoke to the marinade (to simulate tandoori cooking) and slightly blacken the chicken on a grill or under the broiler.

This is wonderfully heady and comforting, and perfect with an Indian meal. I’ve made it as directed, but also have a coffeemaker I use just for tea, and most often make it in that. I’ll just put the spices in a coffee filter with the tea, then throw a cardamom pod in each cup when I serve it. It’s great cold too (but I prefer it hot, with a little sugar)
My all time favorite Indian dish – Chicken Tikka Masala. Since my vegan conversion, this is one meal I surely thought, I’d never have again. Thanks to the folks at Gardein, their ‘chicken scallopini’ makes this carnivorous dish, 100% vegan friendly!
