Butter Chicken Spice Blend
- SKU:
- SKU-2855755F
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.

Butter Chicken Spice Blend
I love this spice blend. It is so easy to make restaurant quality butter chicken at home!

Awesome spice mix
Butter chicken using this spice mix is a massive favourite at my place and even my kids eat it! I used it with the recipe however you need to balance the sauce properly or it will be too bitter. Once I worked that out it was the most delicious butter chicken I’ve ever tasted.

Makes the best butter chicken ever
I made a healthy version with Greek yogurt and no honey and it was still super great

Absolutely love this
This is one of my faves. I add some blend to a couple of tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and marinate some chicken tenders for a few minutes. Throw them in a hot pan and dinner is nearly done. Great flavour.
