Butter Chicken Curry

Hi guys! A Delicious new recipe for your today, my first curry recipe! Butter Chicken Curry! A butter chicken curry inspired dish. Packed with flavour making this a dish you will want again and again! Using boneless chicken thighs for that extra delicious chicken flavour.

Any cut of meat can be used in this recipe. I like to use boneless chicken thighs as they are super juicy and tasty. Feel free to leave out the chilli if you don’t like too much spice. This is a mild curry already but go ahead and remove it if you don’t like spice at all. If you are missing one or two spices don’t worry about it just up another spice and taste it to see if you are happy with it.
