I know it sounds dumb that the butter chicken kit contains neither butter nor chicken but trust me, they’re awesome.

    I’ve made butter chicken once before. It was delicious, but it was a pain. Getting the spices and the process was a lot to go through if you’re not making a large batch. All that to say, this is a good idea and I would have definitely bought it if I saw it at my farmers market.

      Thanks. It includes organic diced tomatoes, organic coconut milk, and two spice packs, one that goes in at the beginning and one that goes in at the end. So you literally just add the chicken and the butter at the end and you have butter chicken. The tag line on our ready or DIY meals is “EAT LIKE A FOODIE FARMER” because we eat the things we sell. Butter chicken is one of my favorites. When my wife and kids were away for three weeks in July I made butter chicken. I made two batches of spices and vacuum sealed one. When they came home my wife wanted to make butter chicken but was very tired so I said, “I have great news for you!” She told me to make up a few packs for her. That’s where this idea was born.

      A can of organic diced tomatoes, a can of organic coconut milk, and two spice packets, one that goes in at the beginning and one that goes in at the end plus a set of instructions that tell you on one side how to cook it in an Instant Pot and on the other how to cook it on the stove top. It’s everything you need except the perishables.

    I must be honest, I thought they were beans and my mouth started watering

      NO BEANS!

      I love beans, but not in butter chicken. It’s awesome with fresh peas, though.

        No, I mean I see cans like that I think beans, it’s like a natural reflex action, I thought beans before I read the title ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
