Where to find the best spice mixes in the world

Ranked #19,333 in Food & Cooking, #344,128 overall

I have started making my own Butter Chicken spice mix

Simply because all the choices in the supermarket are a waste of time. They all contain a lot of rubbish that is only there to bulk the contents out or preserve its shelf life. It's no wonder they all taste so bad. I want to know where my spices come from and that there is nothing extra added to my mix.

Yeah, I know, you can make Butter Chicken from scratch, but who has the time anymore? I know I can't be bothered. But it's been the only way to do it if you want that real authentic restaurant quality taste.

So here I am making my own. I've built two websites to sell it from, one in New Zealand (www.butterchicken.co.nz) where the mix is made and the other is for everyone else in the world who also wants a great tasting Butter Chicken - www.butter-chicken.com.

And to make things even easier, I'll ship anywhere in the world for free.

The Best Butter Chicken Recipe

Simple, quick and delicious

Best Butter Chicken RecipeThe Best Butter Chicken Recipe Ever!

500g Boneless Chicken cut in 2cm cubes
1 Packet The The Best Butter Chicken Spice Mix Ever
3 Tablespoons Butter
1 Medium Onion - finely chopped
135g Tomato Paste
300ml Cream

> Place chicken & The Best Butter Chicken Spice Mix Ever in a bowl and toss chicken to coat.
> Melt butter in a pan & cook onion until translucent.
> Add chicken & fry for about 3 mins.
> Stir in the tomato paste & cream and mix well.
> Simmer for 10 minutes or until cooked.

Delicious! Stir in a little cream and sprinkle on a few almonds for that really restaurant look! You can swap the cream for yogurt, but it just isn't the same. Yogurt won't give you that rich creamy butter chicken sauce like real cream will, but if you insist, then go with Greek. You can go for light cream if you're worried about the calories.

Serve with rice, Indian chutneys and salad.

Serves 2-3

The Best Butter Chicken Spice Mix Ever is available at www.butterchicken.co.nz (New Zealand orders only) or www.butter-chicken.com for the rest of the world. Remember we'll ship anywhere in the world for FREE!

Ingredients in my Butter Chicken Spice Mix

You'll be very pleased to know that The Best Butter Chicken Spice Mix Ever is completely natural with no additives or preservatives in it. I source all the spices from just one company who I have a very good relationship with and know they have the best spices in town. Totally gluten free as well.

The Garam Masala is made completely from scratch by hand. I do this because I haven't found any really really good blends anywhere else. So to guarantee quality and freshness I dry fry the spices first then grind them by hand. They are soooooo good. It's the most awesome smell when you start to grind them - mmmmmm yum! Try our awesome Butter Chicken Recipe, its fantastic and so easy to make.

By the way I do have a certified commercial kitchen where the spice mix is made.

Salt
Turmeric
Cinnamon
Ground Ginger
Garam Masala (I make this from scratch too, see below)
