International Cuisine Butter Chicken

What is it?

Tomato-based butter chicken sauce with cream, butter and mild spices coats chicken pieces alongside basmati rice in this frozen meal from Aldi's International Cuisine range. The sauce stays closer to the familiar Australian take on the curry than to a sharper restaurant style, with a slight sweetness rounding out the spice. Inside, the chicken pieces are fairly large and the rice is cooked separately before freezing, which helps it hold its shape after microwaving. Compared with other meals in the International Cuisine line, this one is the curry option and tends to be the range's best seller. It's the frozen butter chicken that most people reach for first.
