- 2 tsp The Spice People’s Turmeric Powder
- 4 tsp The Spice People’s Garam Masala
- 4 tsp The Spice People’s Ground Kashmiri Chillies
- 2 tsp The Spice People’s Ground Black Pepper
- 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 thumbs ginger, finely grated
- 2kg skinless chicken thigh, cut into 3cm chunks
- 300g almond meal
- 2 brown onions, finely chopped
- 4 The Spice People’s Whole Green Cardamom Pods, bruised
- 2 stick The Spice People’s Cinnamon Sticks

- 2 tbsp olive oil

- 400ml chicken stock
- 2 cups cream
Directions
- Start this recipe by combining all the ingredients for the marinade in a non-reactive dish and place the chicken in before tossing it through until it is evenly coated.
- This recipe is best if you let the chicken marinade for a couple of hours however, as I always say who has time for that… plenty of flavour here.
- Meanwhile begin the sauce for the butter chicken. Brown the onion off in olive oil before adding the spices and cooking for 1-2 minutes to take the rawness out of them.
- Add the marinated chicken and the marinade followed by the remaining ingredients bar the cream and cook for 30 minutes. Add the cream and cook for a further 10 minutes before serving.
