Chef's Notes
Do not rush the sauce reduction in Step 6! Allowing the oils to separate from the sauces unlocks the deep, authentic Indo-Chinese umami flavor profile that separates a masterpiece from mere takeout.
Pro Tip
For an extra-crispy exterior on your paneer, let the coated cubes rest for five minutes before dropping them into the hot oil. It creates a moisture barrier that keeps the inside pillow-soft!
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Dropping the wet paneer directly into boiling oil without letting the batter set will cause the coating to instantly shed into the pan, leaving you with naked cheese and a greasy soup of burnt flour.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I asked the chef why the gravy was so thick, and he said it was to hide the fact that he burnt the onions.
The Culinary Science
When corn starch slurry is added to boiling liquid, gelatinization occurs. The starch granules swell and trap water molecules, rapidly building viscosity and giving your gravy that signature glossy sheen.
