Butter chicken on MCY - SYD yesterday. OK but not spicy.

The alternative was apparently quiche which all of Row 1 had leaving the 4 in row 2 with Butter chicken.

If you mean a chilli hit when you say spicy, butter chicken normally isn't that kind of curry. People might modify it to do so, but at its base, butter chicken is not meant to be a hot curry. If, by spicy, you mean lots of spices like garlic, ginger etc. then you don't tend to get lots of those in Australia, let alone butter chicken, let alone on board an aircraft.

It is meant to be creamy, which that picture doesn't really show off, or it might be that whatever cream content was in the dish had been frozen, dehydrated, defrosted then split out. But what does it matter - it's an Indian style curry, and most won't lift an eyebrow as long as the taste is there.

Oh? Usually they cater 5/3 with 3 vegetarian. Did the quiche have an additional meat option?;

What kind of meat option could you add to a quiche? Shredded chicken? Bacon? Couple of sausages? Seems a bit weird.

I'd say bacon or chipolatas, yeah.

From watching the fellow in 1C there didn't appear to be any meat.
As to the butter chicken I like spice. I had it twice in India and both times it was spicy. In the UK no spice.

I think butter chicken is quite a mild dish in UK. Plenty of more spicy ones. I miss UK curries actually. Enjoyed many a good curry in India...
