  Delicious! This tasted really authentic and wasn't too hard to do - one of the best curry recipes on here in my opinion.

  I need clarification of what to do with the cardamom pods. Recipe says 12 pods,seeds removed. So what exactly IS to be used in the actual cooking ?

  Very tasty! Fenugreek gives it a very authentic flavour i think. Recipe is confusing but i read it as put in the cardamom seeds, and i put them in where it says to add the 'whole spices' presuming the ingredients go in recipe order.

  Fantastic tasting curry. I put the cardamoms in at same time as the cinnamon stick and it turned out just fine. I will definitely make this on a regular basis.

  Delicious......I also added an extra chilli as we like it hot, plus we grow our own chillies so had plenty. I must confess I added the sauce to some freshly roasted chicken we had tonight. We love indian food and will no doubt cook this recipe again. Thank you BBC good food

  made this on several occasions and we absolutely love it. I must remember to get the onions on while im the making the paste as gives me something to do while the onions are cooking! I use chicken thighs, skinned and deboned, and cook everything together. Re cardamon pods/seeds. Take the seeds out, despose of the pods, and put the seeds in at the same time as the whole spices, i have also crushed them on occasion too to even out the flavour of the cardamon...though little burst of it are lovely!

  Made this exactly as recipe for my husband and son in between Christmas and New Year. Wow, best chicken curry I have ever made. Hubby had 3 portions! Really tasty and creamy. Will definitely make again.

  Great recipe. I made this two nights ago because my son was craving butter chicken. I couldn't buy ground fenugreek so I left it out entirely and I omitted the ghee/vegetable oil in favour of a light spray of grapeseed oil. I didn't have a lot of time so I softened & browned the onions rather than slowly caramelising them. The result was still absolutely delicious and very close to an authentic flavour. The whole cardamon seeds are a nice touch. Next time I'll make sure I have Fenugreek and ghee beforehand and I'll add an extra green chilli (with seeds) as several people have suggested.

  I don't know what happened here but I found it too watery. I will try it again adding less water and/or reducing it for longer.
