It is devastating when you get home after a long busy day and you have to face the big question: ‘What’s for dinner?’.

To top it off, if you like me have small kids you would know that take out and fast food are not the best go to options either. Here is a quick and easy butter chicken recipe to solve all of the problems mentioned above (as much as possible, there is no magic solution, unfortunately).
