- Then add Kasturi Methi by crushing it on the palm of your hands
- At the last add paneer cut in diced shape

Chef Tips:
- To paste cashew nuts or magaj soak them in hot water for like 10 min then blend them using little water, we need a thick paste
- To make it little spicy if you like spicy food add paste of green chilly because we can’t add red chilly powder else colour will change to red
- Many people ask me regarding the portion of the food is less, just want to tell them it’s only the presentation, you can always serve a bowl full of gravy with Indian breads on the side
- Cream you can add more if you want to add.
