Butter Chicken Spice Blend

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 Butter Chicken Spice Blend is a mix of 14 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.
