PETE EVANS’ BUTTER CHICKEN

One of my readers asked if I could convert a couple of the recipes from the 10 week Paleo Way program by Pete Evans, the first being his Butter Chicken. I changed a couple of things and think the result was quite delicious and very easy in the Thermomix. Hope you enjoy it.
