• Honey | शहद 1 tbsp (or sugar)
• Fresh cream | ताज़ी मलाई 2-3 tbsp
• Fresh coriander | हरा धनिया small handful
Methods:
• Set a wok on medium high heat, add oil, let the oil heat well, further add cumin seeds & onions, now stir on high flame and cook until the onions turn light golden brown in colour.
• As the onions change the colour further add all the ingredients of the makhani puree, stir and cook on medium high flame for 10-15 minutes till the tomatoes becomes mushy, make sure not to add water till the time tomatoes don’t become mushy. You can also cover and cook so the process becomes faster & the chances of tomatoes getting burnt reduces. The process may take around 15-18 minutes.
• Once the tomatoes get mushy, add hot water and stir well, further lower the flame to low heat, cover & cook for 10 minutes.
• Now, after cooking for 10 minutes, you can see tomatoes have cooked well and further you need to cool down the mixture to room temperature. As soon as it cools down, transfer the mixture in a mixer grinder and grind to make fine paste, make sure to use very less water while grinding. Further strain the puree using a sieve and keep it aside to be given tadka.
• Now, set a pan or a wok on medium heat, add butter & oil and let it heat a little bit, further add, garlic, ginger & green chillies, stir & cook on high flame for 1-2 minutes.
• Now lower the flame, and add kashmiri red chilli powder, stir quickly and now add the strained prepared makhani puree, stir and cook the sauce for at least 5-6 minutes.
• You can adjust the consistency of the gravy/sauce by adding hot water to it, remember we will use this a spread for making the burger, so do not make it too thin to too thick.
• Once the consistency seems to be perfect, add garam masala, kasuri methi, honey, fresh cream & fresh coriander, stir & mix well.
• Check for the salt & adjust accordingly, your makhani sauce is ready! Keep aside to be used in burger. Though the makhani sauce is little extra, you can keep the makhani sauce in the fridge and use later.
