Vegan Makhani Sauce

This recipe can turn out to be a life saver, authentic restaurant style taste and rich in flavours. It’s a show stopper, and beauty of the sauce is you can use it as a base for various dishes like Paneer Butter Masala, Butter Chicken, Mutter Mushroom, Tofu butter Masala, Scrambled Tofu/Paneer(Cottage cheese) and many more.
You can even prepare this sauce in advance and store it in fridge for up to a week. Very easy to make with all ingredients which are usually readily available in our pantry. Follow this step by step recipe for convenience.
For vegan option I used Nutlex butter, you can use butter of your choice. If you are planning to make something Malvani or with coconut, even coconut butter would work well. For non vegan option use normal butter or ghee.
