Our barn, our recipes

Cooked in a barn above Silent Pool

This gravy starts the way it did in Mandira's family kitchen in Calcutta: whole spices, toasted and ground the same morning, cream stirred in slowly so it never splits.

We cook in small batches in a 400-year-old barn in the Surrey Hills, then blast-freeze every pot the day it's made. Cooked, then frozen. That order is the whole point.

Butter Chicken, The Way Delhi Makes It

Our butter chicken (murgh makhani) is the dish that turns curry sceptics into regulars. Boneless chicken sits in a slow-simmered tomato gravy softened with cream and butter, finished with garam masala and a pinch of kasuri methi. It is rich without being heavy, and mild enough for the whole table. We make it in small batches at our Silent Pool kitchen from a Delhi family recipe, then blast-freeze it the same day so it reaches you tasting like it just left the pan.

HOW SPICY IS IT?
Mild. There is warmth from the spices but no chilli heat, which makes this butter chicken a safe bet for children and anyone easing into Indian food. Want more of a kick? A spoon of green chilli chutney lifts it.

WHAT'S IN IT (AND THE ALLERGENS)
Boneless chicken, tomato, cream and butter, ginger, garlic and freshly ground garam masala. It contains dairy. We cook in a kitchen that also handles gluten and nuts, so we can't promise it is free from traces. Call our kitchen if you have a serious allergy. No preservatives.

READY IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES
Cook it straight from frozen. Microwave for 4 to 5 minutes, heat in the oven or air fryer for 30, or on the hob for 10. Stir halfway and serve it hot. Dinner sorted, with none of the 40-minute takeaway wait.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH BUTTER CHICKEN
Basmati or pulao rice and a warm naan do the job. Add a raita to cool it and you feed two. Building a curry night? Our dal makhani and a plate of onion bhajis turn it into a feast.

WHY BUY YOUR BUTTER CHICKEN FROM US
Eleven Great Taste Awards and more than 520 five-star reviews say it better than we can. Every batch is handmade in Surrey, frozen at its peak, and delivered across the UK. Order your butter chicken today and keep restaurant-quality dinner in the freezer for the nights you need it. Keep a box in the freezer and the weeknight standoff between cooking from scratch and ordering a takeaway quietly goes away.

Good questions

Before your first order

What is murgh makhani?
Murgh makhani is the Indian name for butter chicken - boneless chicken in a mild, slightly sweet tomato-and-cream gravy finished with garam masala and kasuri methi. It was created at Moti Mahal in Delhi.
Is butter chicken spicy?
No - ours is mild with only gentle warmth, making it family-friendly and a good introduction to Indian curries.
How do you reheat frozen butter chicken?
From frozen: 4-5 min in the microwave, 30 min in the oven/air fryer, or 10 min on the hob. Stir halfway and make sure it's piping hot.
Is it better than takeaway butter chicken?
It's cooked in small batches from a Calcutta family recipe by a chef with 11 Great Taste Awards, blast-frozen fresh - no 40-minute wait or delivery fee, ready in 10 minutes.
