This recipe is inspired by Jo Whitton from Far North Queensland, who writes a very popular food blog called Quirky Cooking. She also has a cookbook of the same name, a podcast called 'A Quirky Journey', about 250,000+ Facebook followers, home schools her four kids, travels and speaks at wellness and cooking seminars - what a woman! We hope you enjoy her super popular butter chicken as much as we do!

Chop onion into small dice. Peel and mince garlic and ginger. Dice chicken into 3cm pieces
Heat a large heavy based, high sided pot to medium heat. Add butter, onion, garlic and ginger then sauté until soft; about 5 - 10 minutes.
Add spice mix, 3⁄4 coconut cream (stir can before adding), tomato paste, lemon juice and chicken. Mix well to combine. Cover and reduce heat to gently simmer for 20 - 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and sauce is beginning to thicken. Stir now and then. Taste, and season as required.
In a pot, bring 1 1⁄2 cup water and rice to a boil, cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes until all of the water is absorbed. Keep pot covered and let the rice absorb the water off the heat. Fluff the finished rice with a fork.
