Chef’s Tips

• Soak paneer cubes in warm water for 10 minutes before cooking to keep them soft.
• Use Kashmiri red chilli powder for a vibrant color without excessive heat.
• Cashews create a naturally rich and creamy gravy.
• Add Gudora Garam Masala only at the end to preserve its fresh aroma.
• A small knob of butter before serving gives an authentic restaurant-style finish.
