Hands up if you like a curry on the weekend. I know in our family we love a good old curry on the weekend especially butter chicken.
With my fiancé and I currently undertaking the Keto diet we found that getting the curry take-away was not possible as we need to keep those carbs down.
Worry no more as we welcome this amazing Keto Butter Chicken and trust me this will not disappoint but i would say may actually want you to cook this every-time you fancy a curry.
