Garam Masala Butter Chicken image

The Australian Women's Weekly version of this classic curry. Can easily be halved. Make this a day ahead to let the curry flavours develop, serve with saffron rice and chapatis. I'm not a fan of dark meat so I normally make my butter chicken with breast meat, diced.
