merlinofchaos | Butter Chicken

I made the Butter Chicken recipe on

tersa's web page. While I doubt I followed the directions perfectly, the only thing I think that's substantially different from described is that I happened to have a bag of almond flour from when I was trying to make low carb snacks (they all suck, by the way). The ingredients said that it is basically pure almonds, so I tried using htat for the almond paste. Unfortunately it wasn't really fine enough, so it didn't end up making a very good paste and made the whole dish a little gritty. I will have to try again after putting the almond flour through the paces.

Or alternately I just just get some slivered almonds and paste 'em up.

I almost forgot to say--other than the grittiness, it was delicious. It was not as good as the *good* Indian restaurants, but it was easily as good as any of the mediocre ones that are nearby. And I was able to control the spice level in half of the dish, which I made for

esmerel so that she could eat it.
