Vegetable Meatballs in Butter Masala Sauce

Its very easy to make butter masala gravy at home, you just need some basic ingredients and mix well and you are done, I have used meatballs in it but you can use chicken, paneer, mix vegetables and its done, only time consuming in this recipe is when you have to sieve the gravy once its cold , but the outcome is awesome so its all worth it. I have take this recipe from Rohan Bhatt from Foodaholics groups in Facebook.



Ingredients : 

2 cups diced tomatoes
1 cup diced onions
1/2 cup cashews
4 whole dry red chilies (De seeded)
5 vegetarian meatballs
2 tbsp butter
1 bay leaf
4 cloves
4 green elichi pods
2 small sticks of cinnamon
1 tbsp each ginger and garlic paste
1 tbsp honey
Salt as per taste

Method :

Heat oil in pan, add tomatoes, onions, cashews and dry chilies and all whole masala in it.

Add glass of water and cook on low flame for 20-30 minutes.

Switch off the flames and take out , bay leaf, cinnamon.

When mixture is cool , make  a puree of it , no extra water needed.

In the same pan, add 2 tbsp butter, when its hot, add ginger garlic paste.

Either you can sieve the gravy and keep it in different container or you can directly sieve it in pan.

Add water and let the gravy boil for few minutes.

Add honey and salt.

Add meatballs  / paneer / chicken what ever you are adding and cook for few minutes.

In the end , add crushed kasoori methi and enjoy hot with home made tandori roti or paratha or rice.

I had it with home made tandori roti.
