Chef's Notes
Do not rush the onion browning stage; building that deep, caramelized foundation is the secret weapon of every great curry master.
Pro Tip
Soak your paneer cubes in warm water for ten minutes before frying if you want them to stay pillow-soft instead of chewy.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Turning the stove up too high while the dairy is reducing, causing the milk and tomato sauce to curdle into a sad, separated cheese disaster that looks like scrambled eggs in red mud.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I asked the chef why we use cashews in the sauce, and he said it's just to make the paneer feel like it's living in a palace instead of a skillet.
The Culinary Science
Cashew nuts contain natural starches and fats that act as an incredible emulsifier when ground, naturally binding the tomato and dairy into a glossy gravy without needing flour.
