Notes
If you don't have tandoori paste, you can make your own spice mixture by combining 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp tumeric, 2 tsp paprika, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp curry powder and 1/4 tsp chilli powder. Stir together and use in step 3 instead of tandoori paste. If your family likes their butter chicken extra spicy, add more of these spices.
