Notes

Instead of milk, you can add 3 tablespoon of fresh cream
If you are using a cinnamon stick, add it while tempering
This gravy goes well with any variety rice like fried rice/ pulao as well as with naan/rotis
I boiled the onions and blended them, as it will save time while cooking blended onion. Instead, you can also sauté the onions
For vegan version, instead of butter, you can add oil and use coconut milk to try Tofu Butter Masala:-)
