The other day I was in London Drugs and I found these packets of Indian spice mixes. A quick perusal of the back of the butter chicken spice suggested that it wouldn't be too hard to make my favorite take-out menu item at home. I was skeptical that it would be any good, but I decided to give it a try. $1.79 wasn't too much of a risk to take.
Tonight after a long day at the library and a solid workout at the gym, I decided to pick up some cheap chicken thighs and some yoghurt and make myself a delicious dinner. IT WAS TO DIE FOR. I almost licked the frying pan clean after. And I certainly licked the spatula.
Tomorrow I am going back to LD and buying at least a dozen more packets (they are 2 for $2.29). And then it is going to be a Butter-chicken-sauce-fest. There is a good chance I will be slathering it on my broccoli, trying it with chick-peas, and quite possibly toping my oatmeal with it in the morning.
