Chef's Notes
Treat your cottage cheese with the gentle affection of a sleeping kitten during the marination phase. A heavy hand turns cheese to rubble!
Pro Tip
Never skip toasting your dry spices directly in the butter and onion base—this foundational step is the secret weapon of every royal kitchen.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Failing to cook out the raw tomato puree long enough will result in a sharp, acidic sauce that tastes less like a palace curry and more like angry science project juice.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy

The Culinary Science
Cashew paste contains natural plant fats and starches that emulsify with tomato liquids, creating a rich, velvety gravy without needing heavy cream.
