My mum used to make butter chicken using carnation milk. There used to be a recipe on the can but she's lost it cos she wrote it down and put it in someplace safe.
Does anyone know the recipe for butter chicken using carnation milk she said it also uses tandoori marinade in it?? But thats all she knows.

Heres one I found on google.. I know you said Tandoori paste - the curry powder in this one could be exchanged for that. and added at the same time.

INGREDIENTS:

* 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1" pieces
* 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
* 1 Tbsp. olive oil
* 2 tsp. curry powder
* 1 onion, thinly sliced
* 3 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 Tbsp. finely chopped ginger root
* 1 Tbsp. olive oil
* 1 Tbsp. butter
* 1 Tbsp. curry powder
* 1/8 tsp. white pepper
* 1/2 tsp. salt
* 2 cups tomato puree
* 2 Tbsp. butter
* 1/2 cup Carnation evaporated milk

PREPARATION:
In medium bowl, place chicken pieces and sprinkle with lemon juice, olive oil, and 2 tsp. curry powder. Toss to coat and set aside.

In heavy skillet, cook onion, garlic, and ginger in 1 Tbsp. olive oil and 1 Tbsp. butter until fragrant. Add curry powder, pepper, salt, tomato puree, and 2 Tbsp. butter and simmer for 10 minutes.

Stir in marinated chicken pieces. Bring back to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Stir in heavy cream or milk and serve over hot cooked rice (basmati, if you can!). Serves 4-6

Hehe I hope she doesnt - because I cant imagine that being too nice...
Carnation does Evaporated milk - for sauces etc, and also Condensed milk - for sweets etc.
