Makhani and tikka masala are two of the most popular Indian dishes. It would be hard to come across an Indian restaurant that didn’t serve these delicious dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we will compare each dish to find out how they differ from one another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Makhani vs tikka masala; round one, let’s go! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the Difference Between Makhani and Tikka Masala?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The most notable difference between the two is that a makhani has a silky, runny texture, whereas tikka masala is slightly thicker and almost velvety in consistency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another major difference is that a true authentic makhani does not contain onion, whereas a tikka masala does. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, they do have some similarities. For example, they are more or less the same reddish\/orange color, and both can be eaten with meat or other additions such as paneer\/tofu\/vegetables, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both dishes are also popular choices at Indian restaurants and are always available at celebratory events such as weddings, birthdays, or festivals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neither Dish is Vegan\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A traditional makhani includes butter and cream, and a tikka masala contains yogurt and cream. Both of which are animal products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it is possible to create a vegan version by using dairy-free or plant-based products. The vegan market is more popular than ever in this day and age, so you will be spoilt for choice.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Dishes Are High in Calories<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We don’t want to burst your bubble, but there are around 270 calories<\/a> in one small serving of tikka masala and the same goes for a makhani. This is before you have added any delicious side dishes too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy your favorite Indian dish once in a while. Just take it easy on the naan bread!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Makhani Contains Butter and Cream\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A makhani gravy is much creamier than a tikka masala due to the addition of butter and heavy cream. In fact, the word ‘makhani’ actually means buttery. <\/p>\n\n\n
