Indian Butter Chicken
Look for mild curry paste at the grocery store to keep things cool for any tender tongues. Most children love the creaminess of butter chicken and paired with steamed Jasmine rice and roasted vegetables, it makes for an easy meal. If you want to add a special touch, fry up some pappadums to dip in the butter chicken sauce.

"I loved this recipe. The smells throughout the cooking process were amazing, and the chicken was very flavourful. Brooklin liked watching it cook through the day and said “me love it!'." Shannon Vogt, mom of Brooklin, 3, Rimbey, Alta.
