Egg Butter Masala Recipe
Egg Butter Masala (Egg Makhani) is similar to Paneer butter masala. The butter masala is a delicious creamy curry which is mildly spiced. To the same gravy you can either add paneer or boiled eggs. Since it is mildly spiced, it can even be given to kids along with plain rice or rotis. The creaminess to this gravy is due to the addition of cashew-nuts. You can even add fresh cream instead of cashew nut paste. This dish is ideal to serve for dinner parties along with jeera rice or butter garlic naan. Eggs are rich in protein and vitamins and hence this creamy yummy curry is ideal to serve not just to kids, but to everyone in your family. Weight watchers can discard the egg yolk while eating the dish.
