 Great meal-maker! September 9, 2010
Linda Halsey
This product makes a great butter chicken. Suggestions: We brown the chicken first and we also use half milk/half water (it's a little creamier and less spicy). We also add pieces of cooked, cubed potatoes and(small) pieces of cooked cauliflower. With rice and a little nan brad from Trader Joes, it's one of our family's favorite meals.
 Easy and authentic September 7, 2010

I love this paste. I substitute coconut milk for the water and get a creamier sauce. YUM!
 Hot, Hot, Hot, and more Hot!!! September 1, 2010

When they describe this as a "mildly spiced gravy" - DON'T BELIEVE IT! This is the hottest thing I have eaten in a long time. In fact, I could only take one bite. I couldn't eat any more of it because it was so spicy. Felt like I was chewing up an actual hot pepper! I followed the directions exactly, and even added vegetables to it, and served it over brown rice. I am not a hot spice fan, and I was very misled by the description given for this product. I did give this 2 stars because it did have decent flavor if it wasn't for the heat of it. Without the heat, it would have been delicious. Now I have 5 more packages of this and they will probably go in the garbage. I doubt even a soup kitchen could serve this stuff.

...Kitchens of India Butter Chicken Curry Paste!!!
I ordered this curry for two main reasons: I've been thinking about trying to cook an Indian dish and it would get here in three days, thanks to free TwoDay Shipping as a student on Amazon. I did the research, read all 83 reviews, and went ahead and decided to purchase. It got here yesterday and it is simply amazing.
I altered the recipe a little bit due to some reviewer's noting that it salty and spicy. Seems like the kind of thing you can do your own thing with. I'm a college kid cooking for myself and so I need each pack to make a stew that will last longer than just that night's dinner. With that in mind, I did the following
~ love onions so I dumped about half a small white onion and the 3tablespoons butter in and let that cook for a little while
~ next added chicken because africans don't just toss raw chicken into sauce. I let it brown pretty well on both sides (5mins approx). and it was 1 and a half whole chicken breast cut up into fairly big pieces.
~ substituted '1 cup water' for a little less than half a pint of Shamrock Heavy Cream (let that sit for 10mins or so) and by this time the heat is way low as to not curdle the milk, and because I wanted the chicken to be more than 1/2 way done. also tossed in lots of peas and carrots in tiny bitesized pieces.
~ now the paste and two whole basil leaves!
~ I added about 3/4 teaspons of flour to thicken it slightly, and water as I saw fit. Simmered for 15mins after the addition of paste.
The end result was a curry that is slightly sweet, a little creamy, and very much what the Kitchens of India served up! I don't know what anyone's 'hot meter' is comparable to mine but Africans like it hot and Southwest food is pretty hot! This was tame in comparison - maybe a 4 out of 10 - but I liked it that way. I have a subscription but it looks like one pack is enough to last me at least 4 days! I would certainly recommend this to anyone with a hankering for curry. It was really quite delicious.
Pros - slightly sweet thick curry, easy to make, directions were clear (even if i altered them), quick prep time for the chicken and everything else I put in.
Cons - none! I'm not tempted to try it with just water to get the full effect of spice or salt. But I'm sure I'd like it too!

I love this curry paste! It is very flavorful, quick and easy to make. Since it is a paste, you can add whatever you like. I usually make two packets at a time with half chicken and half chickpeas or white beans. I also like to add sauteed onions and extra curry powder. It is very tasty.
