Butter Chicken
A bestseller, back and better than ever. Tender chicken breast simmered in a rich, silky tomato and cream sauce, mellow with butter and warm with garam masala, cumin and fenugreek - comforting, gently spiced and impossibly moreish. Now served alongside a spiced chickpea masala and wilted spinach, with golden turmeric basmati rice to soak up every last bit of sauce.

Tell me when Butter Chicken 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.
