Cooking Steps
a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7 for the naans.
b) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
a) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
b) Once hot, add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh.
c) Fry until golden brown, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
a) Add the garlic, North Indian style spice mix and tomato puree to the chicken. Cook until fragrant, 1 min.
b) Add the chicken stock paste, creme fraiche, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts). Stir to combine.
c) Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer until reduced by half, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
a) Meanwhile, put the naans onto a baking tray. Sprinkle with a little water and pop them into the oven to warm through, 2-3 mins.
b) Once the curry has thickened, stir in the butter (see pantry for amount) until melted.
c) Spoon the curry onto each naan, then bake on the top shelf of the oven until golden and toasted, 4-5 mins.
a) Meanwhile, cut the tomato into 1cm chunks.
b) In a medium bowl, add the tomato chunks and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for amount). Season with salt and pepper, then mix well.
c) Just before you're ready to serve, add the rocket to the tomatoes and toss to coat.
a) When baked, transfer your butter chicken naans to your plates.
b) Serve with the rocket salad alongside.

Review summary
Updated on Sept 2026- Flavour: The butter chicken sauce is creamy and well-spiced, with a warmth that works well on the naan; use only one spice sachet if you prefer a milder result.
- Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to prepare, making it a good choice for a fast weeknight dinner.
- Suggestions: Serve the naan on the side rather than baking the curry on top if you prefer it less soft; add mint yoghurt, mango chutney, or a drizzle of extra crème fraîche to round out the dish. Some found adding onion or pepper to the sauce boosted the flavour.
- Portions: The chicken-to-naan ratio can feel uneven — the curry doesn't always cover both naans fully, so consider adding a small side of rice to make it more filling.
- Spice level: The spice mix is noticeably warm despite the medium label — halving the spice packet works well for children or those who prefer a gentler heat.
