Rustic orange butter chicken sauce with roasted tomato texture
TooGut pickFlexible, practical, genuinely delicious.

Roasting the tomatoes first builds sweetness through heat, not syrup. Yoghurt brings tang and butter rounds the spices without turning dinner into cream soup.

Let’s cook.

Tick each step as you go. Built-in timers keep the important moments close.

Roast for real sweetness

Heat the oven to 220°C. Roast tomatoes, onion, garlic and ginger with 1 tablespoon olive oil for 25 minutes until collapsed and charred at the edges.

Bloom the spices

Melt half the butter in a saucepan. Cook garam masala and paprika for 30 seconds.

Blend and simmer

Blend roasted vegetables until smooth, add to the spices and simmer for 6 minutes.

Finish off the boil

Remove from heat. Whisk in yoghurt and remaining butter. Return to very low heat without boiling.
