Chef's Notes
Pay absolute attention to the reduction of the tomato paste in Step 4. If you rush this step, your soul will taste the raw acidity of uncooked tomatoes for eternity, and that is a burden no chef should have to bear.
Pro Tip
When toasting your spices in Step 3, keep your nose inches away from the pan—safely, of course—and inhale. If your nose tingles with joy and your neighbors start knocking on your door to ask what smells so divine, you are doing it right.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Fail to fry out the raw tomato paste completely, and your royal kheema will taste less like a majestic feast and more like a sad kindergarten art project submerged in raw ketchup.

Oh, how grand! We have successfully convinced a carrot to believe it is a prized cut of steak for the evening.
The Culinary Science
The addition of cashew paste and butter late in the cooking process introduces complex fats that coat the tongue, slowing down flavor perception and allowing the warmth of the garam masala and chillies to linger long after the last bite.
