Notes
- Paneer Preparation: Use fresh, soft paneer for the best results. If using store-bought paneer, soak it in warm water for 10-15 minutes before cooking to enhance its texture and make it tender.
- Creamy Gravy Alternative: If you prefer a healthier option, replace heavy cream with unsweetened coconut milk, cashew paste, or Greek yogurt. This retains the creamy texture while reducing calories.
- Adjust Spice Levels: Taste the gravy as you cook and adjust the spice levels to your liking. Add a little sugar if the tomatoes are too tangy, or a pinch of red chili powder for extra heat.
