After yesterday’s South Indian rice dish, I have this North Indian rice dish. Makhani gravy is a reddish tomato based gravy made with butter and cream (hence the name makhani), commonly used in North Indian dishes. It is very popular on restaurant menus and paneer makhani is quite famous.
Here the makhani gravy is mixed with basmati rice to make this creamy and delicious rice that is equally good to serve at dinner parties or as a quick weeknight meal. Recipe is from a Telugu cooking show.
The original recipe only used mixed vegetables, but I decided to add some chickpeas to add some protein and make the dish more wholesome. Alternately paneer or tofu can also be added instead of chickpeas. Serve with raita and chips for a delicious meal.
That’s a fantastic dish pavani..I keep hearing from mom about all the innovative recipes that come out of a tv show these days..she is so hooked all of them..Dad says from 12.30 our time, he has different chefs visiting our living room with dishes..lol..

Prefectly cooked rice, that plate of makhani rice makes me hungry.
I noticed a similar dish recently on a cook show and was wondering how it would turn out and you have just showed me how yummy it can be.
This is such a visual delight, Pavani. Just to clarify, you’ve mixed cooked basmati with the vegetable makhani, haven’t you?
