Butter Chicken Spice Blend (Certified Organic)

Certified Organic by ACO. Gluten Free - endorsed by Coeliac Australia. Vegan

Tantalisingly rich, sweet and savoury, butter chicken is the quintessential Indian curry.

Originating in northern India’s Punjab region, butter chicken is traditionally made with marinated on-the-bone chicken pieces, roasted in a tandoor oven then doused in a generous ghee, ginger and garlic gravy. Mild in heat yet brimming with intensely creamy and tangy butter and tomato flavours, butter chicken has become a family favourite the world over.

Spice Zen’s Certified Organic Butter Chicken Spice Blend is a mix of 15 organic spices and aromatics, creating an appealingly bright, red-yellowish curry base faithful to its Punjabi roots. The spices are carefully roasted to activate the oils, fats and fragrances, and then stoneground to create a well-rounded marinade that makes cooking an authentic Butter Chicken a surprisingly simple affair.

Oven-bake or grill the marinated chicken pieces and combine with tomato and butter to create a complex, tangy and rib-stickingly rich makhni (buttery) gravy.

Use this spice blend to cook other buttery curries like Paneer Makhni.
