Title: Makhani Masala
Post by: DonnieH on June 06, 2010, 01:39 PM

I've been looking for a recipe like this for some time and a lot have been pretty far from what I have been after.

The original recipe can be found at this address http://www.ecurry.com/blog/basics/the-basic-gravies/ (http://www.ecurry.com/blog/basics/the-basic-gravies/)

The garlic/ginger combo is far to much IMO but I reduced this to about a half tablespoon of each. I also added more cream/milk and reduced for about 45 mins to get the flavour I was after. I added some sugar for sweetness also.

I made it with fresh normal tomatoes, fresh beef tomatoes and finally with passata. All pretyy much gave the same results (aart from passata wich was a bit tart so needed the sugar)

Hi Donnie,

That looks great.  The garlic and Ginger does seem a hell of a lot in the original recipe.

Have you tried searching the forum a recipe?  There are a couple here http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?board=63.0 (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?board=63.0)

Thanks for the comments guys.

I have tried a few of the recipes on here for butter chicken but some were pretty complicated and were not giving the flavour I was after.

This one is pretty much straighforward and the flavour is almost exactly how I wanted it to be.

What I didn't mention is that I passed the sauce through a seive afterwards and transferred the cardammons and cinamon to the seived sauce and added a little more methi leaf. Gave a really smooth sauce.

It also contains chicken tikka using blades recipe with a little added yoghurt to the marinade with extra mint sauce.

It certainly looks very good indeed.
