Add the chicken and turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, melt the low-fat spread in a large pan set over a low heat. Add the onion and cook for 15 minutes until slightly caramelise­d.

Add 300 ml water and simmer for 20 minutes until thickened. Heat the oil in a large pan set over a medium heat.

Stir through the remaining yoghurt and the coriander. Scatter over the extra coriander leaves and serve the butter chicken with the warmed mini naan breads on the side.
