Butter Chicken With Coriander Rice
Butter chicken or 'murgh makhani' is a curry house favourite. To make your own, you'll simmer chicken breast in a mild tomato sauce swirled with clotted cream. Serve with coriander rice to the side.
You supply: butter, salt, vegetable oil, water. The figures below are for the dish cooked as instructed, so they count these rather than what arrives in the box.

Tell me when Butter Chicken With Coriander Rice changes
Recipes get reformulated and portions shrink without an announcement. We read this page every week anyway.
Every figure above is read from what the brand publishes, and brands change their pages without telling us. If something here does not match this meal as it is sold today, we would rather hear it than print it.
