Not quite 'authentic'

As someone who cooks Indian food often (and whose background is Indian), I am always interested in trying packaged/processed Indian sauces to see if they actually taste 'authentic' and live up to what we would make at home. I will say that everyone has their own version of classic dishes such as Butter Chicken, and it's because everyone has their own spice blends, family secrets to add in, and we cook by 'taste' rather than exact recipes.
This one didn't quite taste authentic and has more of a tangy tomato based flavour rather than a creamy or buttery taste. The spices and seasonings were also quite mild in nature, likely tamed down for the general public.
Overall, not the best representation of butter chicken, and I'm sure if you were to follow the many recipes available online, you could make a better one from scratch, it's not that difficult I promise!

Best butter chicken sauce!

It is pricey at about $4-$5 a jar, but this sauce is absolutely amazing! I’ve tried the VH version and it was sweet and disgusting. Pataks makes the tastiest Indian sauces. There is the spicy one we usually buy that is just is enough spice, not too spicy at all. Definitely recommend:)

Lovely creamy sauce

A lovely rich creamy cooking sauce , a little bit hooter then I thought it would be but the taste is amazing , doesn’t split when cooking which is a bonus.

This sauce is fantastic

Every now and then i have cravings for butter chicken but i'm too lazy to make it from scratch. This sauce is very tasty, even though it's not as tasty as the ones you get from authentic restaurant but this is close enough.

I will buy this product always, great taste

When your in a hurry and need to make a delicious dinner quickly, this is my go too sauce. All I have to do is cook up a couple of chicken breast chop to bite size pieces and then add the sauce. I serve this over any rice and it’s so yummy!

A great butter chicken sauce

I love the Patak's butter chicken cooking sauce. I tried it out a few weeks ago and fell in love! it's super tasty, easy to use, and it was a really reasonable price. Tons of flavor and the perfect cooking sauce for a really nice butter chicken!

Made in Leigh

My fave sauce to have my girlfriend cook with (lol). I have tried to cook, I can’t! So rich, flavourful and it always tastes great. I have also tried Pataks Spicy version and it’s just as good. It’s almost equivalent to homemade butter chicken. Patak’s is made in Leigh, Lancashire ( where my girlfriend was born). Meant to be (the sauce and gf). Normally around $3.98

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. I'm living alone and everytime I see a pouch I buy one despite the price that is a bit expensive for the quantity. Otherwise, it tastes so good. I eat some at least once every 3 weeks, I'm just totally addicted to it. The best butter chicken sauce so far.

I had a great experience working for a lovely Indian couple as a nanny. They taught me all kinds of great recipes , Which was great because my hubby also loves indian cuisine. But when you're in a pinch and don't have time to cook all day i wanted to find something similar. We have tried all different cooking sauces and so far this is the best, I never follow recipes so i tend to add more garlic and ginger to my taste, I also cook the chicken in the sauce instead of frying the chicken first.Seems to turn out way better. But over all I LOVE THIS STUFF..Quick yummy dinner , serve with basmati rice and some butter Roti. yum yumm .
