Egg butter masala or Egg makhani is similar to paneer butter masala. The dish turned delicious and is a must try for any special occasions. Butter masala is a delicious creamy curry which is mildly spiced. To the same gravy you can either add paneer and make paneer makhani or boiled eggs or marinated chicken too and make butter chicken.
Since it is mildly spiced, it can even be given to kids along with jeera rice or rotis. The creaminess to this gravy comes due to the addition of cashewnuts. You can even add fresh cream instead of cashewnut paste. This dish is ideal to serve for dinner parties along with jeera rice or butter garlic naan.
Eggs are rich in protein and vitamins and hence this creamy yummy curry is ideal to serve not just to kids, but to everyone in your family. Weight watchers can discard the egg yolk while eating the dish.
