Basics of Indian Cooking - Makhani Gravy Base
Indian cooking is incomplete without the curries and gravies; amongst all of them, one gravy that everyone relishes is a makhani or a butter based tomato gravy that serves as base for many popular dishes like Butter Chicken , Paneer Makhani , Mushroom Makhani, Soya Tikka Masala and so on. I always keep a batch of this gravy base stored in my refrigerator as it comes really handy when hosting a sudden dinner party or get-together. A no-fuss recipe with simple everyday kitchen ingredients, it comes together in no time. If you too are hosting a party and planning to make rich Mughlai delicacies, this recipe is just for your sorts. Make it ahead of time and substantially reduce your time spent in the kitchen.
