TAIPPAN BBQ: Bollywood Butter Chicken – 175g

Butter chicken depth, no butter required

Taippan BBQ's Bollywood Butter Chicken packs the warm, aromatic spice of a slow-simmered curry into a shake-on rub. All-natural, made in Australia with none of the nasties — all the comfort of butter chicken, none of the effort.

The flavour

Sweet tomato and onion lead, then a proper curry-cabinet middle of cumin, coriander, ginger and cardamom, warmed with cinnamon and clove. A mellow chilli hum sits underneath — aromatic and comforting rather than hot.

How to cook with it

• Fold a few good spoonfuls through natural yoghurt, coat chicken thighs and rest an hour for a tandoori-style marinade, then grill hot for charred edges.
• Dust over lamb cutlets or a butterflied leg before the grill.
• Toss cauliflower, pumpkin or paneer in oil and this rub, then roast until caramelised.
• Stir a spoonful into a tin of tomatoes and cream for a fast, cheat's curry sauce.

In the shaker

A fine, deep-ochre blend flecked with dark spice — it smells like a curry house the moment the lid's off. Dissolves smoothly into yoghurt or oil for a marinade.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Darryl's orders: treat this like tandoori and let it ride. Fold it through yoghurt, coat your chicken thighs and rest an hour before you grill them hot for the charred edges. Cook alongside Atomic Chicken Honey Mango BBQ Sauce and finish with a splash of Fancy Hanks Cayenne & Watermelon. No receipts — just a very good curry night.
