Indian Butter Chicken

Incredibly good! I love Indian food but have never dared making anything on my own until I saw this and had to try it while I was making meals ahead to freeze. I froze half (stopping after step 9, as instructed), but it smelled so good that I just had to put the other half in the fridge to have today. Very easy, even for a complete beginner like me. As good as any dish I've had at an Indian restaurant. I couldn't find cardamom pods, but I did find a spice that included it along with the corriander, so I used that this time. Next time (and there will definitely be a next time) I will hunt down the pods. Still delicious anyway. Tastes just as fragrantly delicious as it smells. BF said 5 stars, too! ************************************ Update April 2008: I have made this more times than I can count, and it is a real winner. The directions for freezing are perfect, and since you still add some fresh ingredients, it still tastes very fresh. I've finally found cardamom pods, but I will probably just use about 3 or so because they are kind of strong. I've also substituted boneless skinless chicken thighs for the chicken breasts, and I think those might be even better. To save on calories, I've also made this substituting half the cream with 1% milk, and it was still fabulous. This recipe continues to be a favorite because no matter what I do to it to change it up, it is always wonderful and always a favorite. (Some conversions that helped non-metric me: 1 kg=2.2 lbs, 50 g butter= approx 1/4 cup)

I loved this recipe. It was quick and easy to make. I brought this to a family Easter dinner and it was a big hit - not spicy, but with great flavour.

This was yummy, quite a mild and sweet tasting curry, but full of flavour. I used a 400gr can of chopped tomatoes, but made everythink else as directed. The recipe states it makes 4-6 servings, however I found whereas there is plenty of chicken for more than four people I was a little short on sauce and there was only five of us. So when I make it again and there are more than four I'll make sure I increase the amount of sauce I make. Definitely a keeper!
