    I love butter chicken but have yet to try making my own from scratch. I should change that 🙂

    Yum! Do you need to use the yoghurt or can you use coconut cream? I tend to have the latter on hand more often! 🙂

      You can definately use coconut cream. I use it for my boys as they have a diary allergy. It freezes better with coconut cream as well.
