This is a mock version of a traditional butter chicken because it has all the flavour without all the ingredients and time. The key is to simmer it low and slow giving it time to incorporate the flavours. Serve this over Indian basmati rice in footed rice bowls. For a stand up party, serve it up in little take out bamboo boats with wood fry forks as a substantial appetizer. Pack up leftovers the next day and your office mates will be envious of your fab lunch on the go.
