Fun Ingredient Fact
Almond and cashew butters add a hint of sweetness
My family loves Indian dishes and this classic Butter Chicken recipe is tops at our house. Full of aromatic flavors, nothing beats sitting down at the end of the day to this great curry dish served with Basmati rice and warm Naan. This dish can also be vegetarian or vegan depending on your dietary preferences. Have kids in the house? Turn this meal into a naan pizza for them. Spread a little sauce on the naan, sprinkle with rice, and cover with chicken and sauce. Also a great leftover idea the next day.
