Make your own butter chicken at home with all the great flavours of your favourite restaurant. 

After years of working on this blend to get it just right, we finally got it to restaurant-quality Butter Chicken.  You can use it on the stovetop or in an Instant Pot for a quicker meal. Both turn out a great dish. 

Recipes using this blend

Cooking Butter Chicken

This blend does require some additional ingredients over and above the chicken, but we do our best to make it as easy as possible. And that's pretty easy! 

And don't worry, we will send you the ingredient list required and include instructions for both traditional and Instant Pot options. The Instant Pot version will be a little wetter but don't worry, you'll fix that at the end by adding more butter and cream! 

Try Something New

Have you ever tried a butter chicken burrito? Or butter chicken poutine? Or even butter chicken over pasta? Or the wildly quick and tasty butter chicken mac & cheese? Well, now it will be crazy easy for you to try these at home!

Smells gorgeous

This reminds me of the local Indian restaurant in my area. It's inspired me to do Indian dishes. I use this for butter chicken and any dish with rice and meat!! So good!!! It's up there with their shakshuka blend for me!! Can't wait to try this in a dip!!

Perfect butter chicken without the dairy

This butter masala spice blend blew me away. It’s completely dairy-free, yet it delivers the same rich, velvety flavour you’d expect from the traditional version. I marinate my chicken overnight in these spices + some coconut yogurt and olive oil and it tastes just as good, and honestly, even cleaner. It’s hard to find blends that fit my diet without sacrificing flavour, but this one is a total win.

So Tasty

We made the recipe on this site for this spice mix. The result tasted like butter masala chicken we’ve had from some restaurants! We preferred the “spicy” version but it wasn’t quite spicy enough for us so we added a little cayenne.

Next time we’re going to use this spice mix in place of the spices in one of our own recipes. It’ll save some time and I know it will be tasty tasty.

Thanks for the review, and feedback Doug. I was wondering if the SPICY had enough kick.
I'm glad you found a way to get the spicy up to your level, and I'm delighted you like the blend. If Contact me when you are done this bag, I might have an EXTRA spicy version for you to test for me if you are up for it.

Restaurant Quality!

We use this blend by marinating our chicken thighs with Greek yogurt and a couple pinches of Butter Masala, then grill on the BBQ + chop up. We add it to wraps , bowls, and more! Delicious way to achieve the butter masala flavours in a simple way!

Thank you so much for your review, Taylor!
I'm delighted you are finding so many ways to enjoy the Butter Masala! Sounds fantastic. (and now I want a butter chicken wrap!)
I hope you don't mind if I use your ideas to share easy ways to quickly make delicious chicken easily!

The BEST Mac & Cheese EVER

We got the tip for trying this with the PC brand White Cheddar Mac & Cheese, and it's become a weekly cheat meal for us. We keep meaning to make a butter chicken style rice dish with it, but we keep going back to the Mac & Cheese! It's incredible!!!

I'm so glad you tried it and liked it, Dave! It's a fun quick way to get a great flavour hit. And perfect to maximize the value of your cheat meal!

  • Spice Storage

    Spices, rubs and spice blends, should be stored in a dry, cool, dark place and used quickly to get the most flavour from them.

    Ground spices typically lose their freshness and are often past their peak in 6 months.
