Coconut Butter Chicken Lasagna

This dish is a brilliant, comforting crossover that pairs the rich, velvety North Indian butter chicken with the cosy, layered comfort of a classic Italian lasagna. Instead of heavy cream, a base of lush coconut cream brings a subtle, tropical sweetness that beautifully balances the warm, smoky spices of the tomato gravy.

Layered with spiced, seared chicken in the butter chicken gravy, coconut bechamel sauce, sheets of pasta, a sprinkling of mild chilli powder, and plenty of gooey, melted cheese, it is a deeply satisfying, modern twist on comfort food that hits every savoury, spiced, and creamy note perfectly.
