I bought your butter chicken sauce but don’t have almond meal
Hi there, thank you for your email, my apologies I haven’t responded sooner. That shouldn’t be a problem all the almond meal does is add some texture and thicken the sauce a little. Did you enjoy the flavors? regards Shelley Zest Byron Bay
Absolutely love this; no nasty ingredients and beautiful flavours. Such an easy slow cooker meal for midweek, but can also be fancied up for the weekend.
