makhani
Tomato butter sauce
Makhani is an Indian style of cooking in a rich, creamy tomato-based sauce with butter and spices.
The term comes from Hindi for "with butter." Most familiar in chicken makhani (butter chicken), makhani sauce typically includes garam masala, ginger, and cream, giving dishes their characteristic orange-red color and mild, velvety texture.
