Why Tassie Dhaba’s Butter Chicken Is Loved by Locals in Tasmania

When you think of Indian food in Launceston or Beaconsfield, one dish that instantly comes to mind is the beloved Butter Chicken. Known for its creamy texture, gentle spice, and smooth tomato base, Butter Chicken is a favourite among both first-time curry explorers and seasoned foodies.

At Tassie Dhaba, we do things a little differently — focusing on freshness, balance, and flavour, without overwhelming the senses with heavy spice.

A Creamy Curry, Done the Right Way

Our Butter Chicken starts with premium-quality chicken, marinated overnight in yogurt, ginger, and garlic for tenderness and depth. We then simmer it in a velvety sauce made from ripe tomatoes, cashew nuts, and a touch of butter and cream — creating a dish that’s rich, yet easy on the palate.

Unlike heavily spiced curries, our Butter Chicken is made with minimal use of strong spices, allowing the natural flavours of the ingredients to shine through.

Why Less Spice Means More Flavour

At Tassie Dhaba, we believe that Indian food doesn’t have to be “spicy” to be flavourful. In fact, using fewer spices allows each ingredient — from the tomatoes to the cream and cashews — to develop their unique character in the dish.

This approach results in a Butter Chicken that’s:

• Smooth and mildly spiced — perfect for all ages

• Creamy without being too heavy

• Rich in flavour thanks to slow-cooked cashews

• Balanced and comforting — ideal for both locals and tourists new to Indian cuisine

The Cashew Nut Secret

What sets our Butter Chicken apart is the use of blended cashew nuts, which give the sauce a naturally creamy texture and a subtle, nutty undertone. This not only adds richness but also helps reduce the need for artificial thickeners or excess cream — keeping it both flavourful and fresh.

Perfect with Naan or Rice

Butter Chicken is one of the most versatile dishes on our menu. You can enjoy it with:

• Soft, fluffy naan

• Steamed basmati rice

• A cooling side of raita or a sweet mango lassi

Whether you're stopping by for lunch or planning a relaxed family dinner, our Butter Chicken offers a satisfying, feel-good option that’s loved by regulars and newcomers alike.
