Shan Butter Chicken 50g シャンバターチキン

The mix was very flavourful and saved me from creating my own spice blend. It was a touch spicy but in line with Butter Chicken.

The right amount of spice heat. Making butter chicken is simplified with this seasoning.

Delicious

My last purchase of “butter chicken” seasoning mix was from Amazon and then the Simply Asia brand was discontinued. The Shan Butter Chicken seasoning mix is truly amazing and preferable to Simply Asia. It has great flavor and good strong heat from red chili pepper. The seasoning mix is imported from Pakistan and has twice the amount of product in the packet than Simply Asia (50 grams as opposed to 25 grams) which makes a tremendous difference in flavor and consistency. The cooking instructions on the package are straightforward and I prepped everything the night before so it was just a matter of assembling the ingredients the next day. We served it with Madras Lentils (also purchased on Amazon), Basmati rice and Na’an. Excellent. One seasoning packet was sufficient to make a meal that served four adults and in terms of cost (I purchased the six-pack) that one seasoning packet was about $2.50. This excellent seasoning mix continues to be more practical and less expensive than purchasing a simmer sauce in a glass jar that costs substantially more and could possibly break in transit (and then is often not returnable). The Shan seasoning mix is definitely worth getting.

I enjoyed "Butter Chicken" several months ago while traveling to St. Louis. I was fortunate to happen upon a great Afgan restaurant (Sameem Afgan Restaurant) and ordered their Butter Chicken for lunch. I was so impressed with the very tasty dish that I asked the waitress what spices were in the dish and could I find a recipe online. She went back to the kitchen and returned with the seasoning package "Shan Butter Chicken Mix". Great product!
