Notes
Use Full-Fat Coconut Milk: This gives the sauce a rich, creamy texture that light coconut milk just can’t match.
Don’t Skip the Butter: The butter adds depth and richness to the sauce, so make sure to include it for the best flavor.
Double the Sauce: If you love extra sauce like I do, consider doubling the coconut milk and butter chicken sauce mixture for even more deliciousness.
Gently Stir: When coating the meatballs with the sauce, stir gently to avoid breaking them apart, especially if they’re homemade.
