Chef's Notes
Always use fresh, soft paneer. If your paneer feels like rubber, soak it in warm salted water for ten minutes before cooking to restore its dignity.
Pro Tip
Strain your blended tomato-cashew paste through a fine-mesh sieve if you want restaurant-level velvety smoothness that will make food critics weep tears of joy.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
The most common disaster is turning the heat too high after adding the cream, causing it to curdle and turn your luxurious sauce into a lumpy science experiment.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Why did the paneer break up with the butter? Because it felt things were getting a bit too cheesy.
The Culinary Science
Cashews contain high amounts of starch and fat which emulsify naturally when blended with tomatoes, creating a creamy texture without requiring mountains of dairy.
