Subzi Makhani Recipe / Vegetable Makhani

Subzi makhani is a North Indian side dish, made with a rich gravy adding cashew, onion, tomato and finally garnishing with fresh cream and milk.As diwali is round the corner thought of making a rich gravy for rotis this weekend.This recipe is spicy and sweet too. I have taken tips for the recipe from "Tarladala's Cookbook".

Prepration Time:20 min
Cooking Time: 20 min
Serves: 4

*You can add vegetables of your choice.
*Adding sugar gives a balance to taste.You can skip sugar if you want.
*I have skipped frying paneer .Panner can be separately fried and added too.
*Kashmiri red chilly gives an exciting colour and mild spiciness to gravy.If you are using other    variety adjust the qty of chilly powder.
*Do not bring to boil after adding milk and cream.
