Almond and cashew paste???

[peeper76]

I have attempted butter chicken many times but it is never the same as at an Indian Resturant, not that I am surprised, I don't expect it to be the same. But, I have never used almond or cashew butter or paste in any of the recipes i have tried. Anyone have any advice or info they would like to share???

Yes I use almond and cashew paste (more like fine powder) in some of the dishes I make. I am not sure what tips you are looking for specifically. I just powder cashews or blanched almonds and add them after I have sauteed the onions, tomatoes, spices etc and then add the cream. The nuts add body and a certain amount of richness to the sauce.
