Butter Chicken
Butter chicken is the curry most people reach for first, and it's easy to make at home once you've got a jar of paste and a tin of tomatoes. The sauce is mild and a little sweet, rich with cream and butter, so it suits kids and anyone who finds other curries too hot. Serve it with rice and naan to mop up the sauce.
