History & Culture

The Story Behind the Dish

📍 Delhi restaurant cuisine📅 Late 20th century🥕 IN

'Makhani' means buttery, and the makhani sauce of tomatoes, butter and cream was made famous by Delhi's butter chicken. Restaurants soon applied the same luscious sauce to paneer, dal and mixed vegetables.

This vegetable version is a staple of North Indian restaurant menus and wedding buffets.

⭐ Why It's Famous

Rich, mild and colourful, sabzi makhani makes vegetables the star of the table.

💡 Fun Fact

A small pinch of sugar is the restaurant secret that balances the tomatoes' acidity in makhani sauce.
