Never eaten butter chicken but have a recipe i like from VH sauce that uses the butter chicken sauce.

Indian Tomato Soup
Aromatic, creamy and delicious. Our version will become your favourite tomato soup.
Serves: 6
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Indian Tomato Soup
1 Tbsp. (15 mL) Olive Oil
½ cup (125 mL) Yellow onion, diced, about 1 small
¼ cup (60 mL) Celery, diced, about 2 small ribs
¼ cup (60 mL) Carrots, diced
1 can (796 mL) Diced Tomatoes, undrained, 3 ½ cups
1 jar (341 mL) VH® Butter Chicken Sauce
1 cup (250 mL) Low Sodium Chicken Broth
Per Serving: 268g (Serves: 6)
Heat the oil in a medium saucepot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, celery and carrots and sauté until soft, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Add the tomatoes with their liquid, VH® Butter Chicken Sauce, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered for 5 minutes.

Remove from the heat. Puree the soup in a blender. Serve hot.

Tips:
Try garnishing the soup with whole wheat croutons and sliced green onions.
Add diced cooked chicken after pureeing, or sprinkle with shredded cheese to add some extra excitement!

Here is my version of the Butter Chicken
Serves 4
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
2 cinnamon sticks
6 cardamom pods
6 cloves
1.5 tsp cumin seeds (optional)
1.5 teaspoons crushed garlic
1.5 teaspoons crushed ginger
1 teaspoon hotsauce (I use Sriracha or Sambal Olek)
2 lbs chicken breast (or you can use a combination of deboned chicken cut into chunks)
1/4 cup butter ( I do NOT use the butter - instead, I use coconut milk in a can, or cream coconut - can get from Superstore - small slab in a green box for about 99cents or so)
2 cups canned crushed tomatoes, or 4 cups pureed fresh tomatoes
2 tsp tomato paste
5 tablespoons crushed fried onions, or saute one medium onion
1/4 tsp cumin powder
1/4 tsp coriander powder
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/4 tsp sugar
2 tbsp chopped corriander (cilantro) leaves

Notes -
The cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods and cloves are the make up for garam masala, so no need to add dry garam masala powder
The fried onions, cumin, corriander and turmeric powders and the tomatoes make up the curry part.
I do not use sour cream, heavy cream or more than one teaspoon of butter - so it is good recipe for lactose intolerant people.
This butter chicken does not have the "golden" or yellow colour that most people are used to. It has a nice red colour from the tomatoes.

Method:
Heat the oil, add cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, cloves and cumin seeds. Saute for about half a minute, then add crushed garlic, ginger, hot sauce and saute for about half a minute. Add chicken pieces and one teaspoon of butter or oil, and cook in a covered pot for about 15 mins - on medium heat.
Add crushed tomatoes, paste, fried onions, salt, sugar, cumin, corriander and turmeric powders, and the canned coconut milk (one can is good) or half packet of the creamed coconut. Cook about 10-15 mins on medium until sauce thickens. Sprinkle corriander leaves on the top of the mixture and stir.

Serve with basmati rice - cooked 1 cup rice to 2 cups water, boiled, then simmered and heat reduced to low until all the water has evaporated and the rice is cooked. Fluff up with a fork. I add a bit of salt and a half a teaspoon of olive oil to the rice when I begin cooking it.
You can also serve with naan or store bought pita bread.

Thank you for sharing your recipe! Can't wait to try it
