  • 2 black peppercorns
  • 2 red chilies dry
  • 1 small stick cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp ginger
  • 1 tbsp garlic 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 can tomato puree 8 oz
  • 7-8 cashews
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp coriander cumin powder

Garnish

  • 1 tsp ghee or oil

Instructions

  • Take oil, in a preheated pan. Add whole spices – dry red chili, peppercorns, cinnamon stick and cardamom pods.
  • Immediately add chopped or grated ginger, garlic, chopped onions and give it a good mix.
  • Let it cook on medium heat until the onions have caramelized and cooked down. This step helps in developing good flavor. So, take your time.
  • Add tomato puree and cashews. (I used homemade cashew paste). Cook it for few minutes and turn off the heat.
  • Once it cools down, blend everything in a blender.
  • Transfer the puree in same pan, turn on the heat add butter, salt, sugar, crush kasuri methi between your palms and add it.
  • Plate the sauce in a bowl, or platter add burrata balls and drizzle chili ghee/oil and add microgreens.
  • Chili oil garnish is optional- heat ghee or oil in a small pan, turn off the heat and add a very small pinch of red chili powder. Drizzle that on the makhani sauce once it is plated.
