Is that a chicken curry? If so please share recipe? 

It's Butter Chicken.. I am super lazy so I use the Cape Herb and spice mix (Checkers) and it has a recipe on the back of it. It's quick.. 1 onion chopped and fried in 3 tablespoons butter and the spices for 4 mins. Add chopped up chicken breasts with a little tomato paste for a further 5 minutes. Add tomatoes (Instead of canned tomatoes I puree my own tomatoes x5). Cook until tender and then add 250ml cream. I cook a double portion as we are a family of 5 and my husband and son eat like giants. The spice mix is 50g but if you make a normal portion you will only use 25g.  

Thank you so much! It looks delish and seems easy enough to prep! 💪🏼 

Very super easy! I just add all the ingredients seperately and divide by 5 for my portion (although it's actually less than that that I have). I have loaded the Cape Herb and Spice Butter Chicken spice into the food list too  

Wow our butter chicken recipes are completely different 🤣 not going to add my ratios in here as I can't remember, but I use salted butter, fry chicken breasts in this, make my own "paste" from pureed Rosa tomatoes, fresh garlic, fresh ginger, fresh tumeric, and masala, and then I add in coconut cream with this for the creamy element. Instead of onions I top with spring onion and I tend to add in celery during cooking just to up the veg content. To calculate the macros I literally take each ingredient separately, and add in its macros - weigh the total at the end (seeing as weight is lost as moisture cooks out), and then weigh my portion out - but I saw someone on here said there is a cookbook function, which I saw at the top tabs but haven't used - might me a hell of a lot faster! 

Omgee yours sounds incredible 😍
