Recipe for Butter Chicken
This is a relatively easy recipe for butter chicken. The taste is all in the spices.
If you are like me and clueless where spices are concerned, google your local spice shop and give them a call.
I live in the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town and visit Simply spices in Kenilworth Centre. Their telephone number is 021 671 2672 for locals.
