Butter Chicken & Rice with Raita Sauce
Butter Chicken is one of the most popular curries at any Indian restaurant, anywhere the world. We've made getting that aromatic, golden chicken simmered in an incredible, creamy curry sauce super easy with our authentic Indian flavoured Butter Chicken Sauce.
Raita Sauce is a creamy, cooling Indian yogurt-based condiment and our super easy Raita recipe makes a refreshingly saucy side dish with our Wildly Delicious Butter Chicken! It's best when made a couple of hours or a day in advance so that the flavours have time to blend.
