Butter Chicken

This recipe is so quick and easy, yet oh so delicious. In my recipe I use a little less tomato paste than most recipes. I made butter chicken served with home made roti for my family last week. My nephew loved it so much he had 4 servings...This recipe is great for kids, full of flavor and mild enough for them to enjoy.
