 Makes a very good chicken makhani (butter chicken) Jul 03, 2008
By B. Nash
Butter chicken is one of my favorite Indian dishes. This little spice pouch greatly exceeded my expectations by making it easy to make a very flavorful rendition of it using only one pot.
1 cup of water, 3 tablespoons butter (I used Smart Balance and it came out great), a pound of chicken (the bagged frozen Tyson grilled chicken strips work great) and 20 minutes and you have a dish that closely approximates the restaurant version. I added some slices of Vidalia onion at the very end so they'd stay crunchy.
Great product, great value. [...]

 Very close to the real thing Jul 03, 2008

First let me start of that i am an indian residing in the US. I miss authentic indian food and dont get to eat good indian food in the restaraunts in my city.
These are very vlose to the real thing and taste just yummy. For people who dont eat too much spice the butter chicken wood be an excellent choice. Now i do cook the real butter chicken(not the best cook) i think this tastes better and is very easy to prepare. I didnt have to add any additional ingredients and the chicken came out great. Even entertained a few american guests and they were all over it !

Great food fast Jun 02, 2008
By RussB
Did you ever just need a fast, easy and quick remedy to solo cooking? Have a yen for Indian food that just won't go away? This product is GREAT--just add chicken (it says chicken breast, but chicken thighs also worked well), heat through and dinner is served. A very tasty dinner it is, too!

Choosy Indians Choose KOI May 12, 2009
By Appleonius
I didn't think that this Butter Chicken Curry paste would hold up to a traditional, home cooked Indian meal...but I was gratefully wrong. My mom is a fantastic cook and this paste does a great job emulating that authentic, home made taste. At roughly $2 (or less on sale), this is far cheaper than going out to eat at an Indian restaurant.
My girlfriend and I make this but we first cook down some sweet onion and brown the chicken a bit before adding the curry paste and water. The instructions tell you to add raw chicken but that sounds a little odd to us. We also like to add some extra heat via red chili powder. If you brown the chicken first, cut it into large enough pieces so that they don't dry out during cooking. We've also used this paste to make butter shrimp & it's a great alternative. All of our friends (Indian + non-Indian) LOVE this stuff. Indian approved!

Excellent, easy butter Chicken May 19, 2011
By K. Lorentzen

The best butter chicken you ever had!
Start with a medium SWEET (very important) onion and 2 - 3 cloves of garlic minced. Sautee in butter, very slowly while cutting chicken into 1" to 2" cubes (small because it cooks faster). Add the chicken to the onion/garlic sautee and add 2 tsp turmeric (or to taste) and 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (more or less to taste).
Start cooking your rice at this time.
Cook over medium heat (don't burn the garlic) until chicken is done (5 to 10 minutes). Pre-mix the Kitchens of India Butter Chicken paste in a small bowl using hot water until smooth and add the mixture to the pan. Cook down to desired consistency.
Optional: add tomato paste, plain yogurt or cream cheese (separately or in any combination). Or add a fresh mango cut into small pieces for "Mango Chicken".
This makes a truly restaurant-class Indian dish and takes just 30 - 40 minutes from concept to meal. Serve with a small salad, fresh veggies and nan for a complete meal that is a real treat! Serves four (or two really hungry people). Double the recipe for 4 or more - the leftovers are just as good as the dinner and probably won't last until morning.
