Ingredients

  • 1 brown onion, diced

  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed

  • 3 tbsp Quick Butter Chicken Blend

  • 140g tomato paste

  • 2 tsp lemon juice

Directions

  • Heat a deep saucepan or pot over medium heat.

  • Add butter, once melted, add diced onions and sauté until onions are translucent, for approximately 3-5 minutes.

  • Add garlic and spice, then stir regularly for 1 minute until the mix is fragrant.

  • Next, add tomato paste, and continue stirring the mixture regularly for a further minute.

  • Pour in the coconut cream and lemon juice, stir to combine, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. You can adjust the consistency of the mixture to your desired liking by adding water if desired.

  • Once the mixture is simmering, add chicken pieces along with any hard vegetables such as carrots or pumpkin, if desired. Turn heat down to low, and return to a simmer.

  • Continue simmering all ingredients for 10-15 minutes if you are using chicken breasts, or 15-20 minutes if you are using chicken thighs and any hard vegetables. Add soft vegetables such as cauliflower florets in the last 5-10 minutes of cooking.
