Thanks. It includes organic diced tomatoes, organic coconut milk, and two spice packs, one that goes in at the beginning and one that goes in at the end. So you literally just add the chicken and the butter at the end and you have butter chicken. The tag line on our ready or DIY meals is “EAT LIKE A FOODIE FARMER” because we eat the things we sell. Butter chicken is one of my favorites. When my wife and kids were away for three weeks in July I made butter chicken. I made two batches of spices and vacuum sealed one. When they came home my wife wanted to make butter chicken but was very tired so I said, “I have great news for you!” She told me to make up a few packs for her. That’s where this idea was born.
Coconut milk? Is this to replace yoghurt and cashew nut paste?
I would buy that though, if I saw it where i am. My kitchen is low storage/space and already filled with Euro/East Asian stuff to fit everything for West Asian foods too.
Beyond the irony of the name, this is genuinely an excellent idea and I wish you luck selling them! Are you considering making these for any other recipes?
We are. We have sold frozen ready meals in the past. This is a new idea. If I can come up with recipes where we can supply everything but the perishables we will likely try them. I make an amazing Thai green curry but my paste is frozen so that won’t work.
Perhaps try dehydrating the paste into a powder? Don’t know how much flavor charge you’d get, as that’d probably volatilize some aromatics, but could be worth a trial run.

Yes. Our son if deathly allergic to cashews. I love them but we can’t have them in the house.

I think you would lose a lot of the flavour. Maybe freeze drying would work better. It’s worth giving both a try.
