Makhani Masala (मखनी मसाला) is a North Indian spice blend for butter chicken, paneer makhani or butter paneer, vegetable makhani and other creamy, mildly spiced butter curries, and it adds a fusion twist to pasta sauces, pulao, wraps and sandwiches. It is described as a blend of tomatoes, mild chili and a touch of sweetness; the label lists "Chilli, Coriander, Green Cardamom, Kasoori Methi, Cumin etc." Non-oil-extracted spices give fresh, intense flavour, colour and aroma with minimal masala, and the blend is 100% natural, free from artificial additives, colours and preservatives, for a restaurant-quality dish with minimal effort. The pack is marked VEG. For butter chicken, 500g boneless chicken is marinated with 2 tablespoons yogurt, salt and 1 of the 3 tablespoons of masala for 30 minutes or overnight, then browned and simmered for 10-15 minutes with onion, ginger-garlic paste, ½ cup tomato purée, the rest of the masala and optional ½ cup cream. A dollop of butter at the end deepens the richness. Stored airtight in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, it keeps its aroma and flavour for up to 12 months, with a 12-month best-before on the pack. It comes in a white stand-up pouch with a deep red base, printed "Product Of India".
