Critical Steps — Do Not Skip

• Making a smooth besan slurry to thicken the gravy without lumps.
• Preparing the yogurt‑cashew spice mix ahead of time to prevent curdling.
• Finishing the gravy with butter and cream for authentic restaurant richness.
• Gentle final simmer to coat vegetables without overcooking.

Chef Tips from the Video

• Add a pinch of sugar with the salt while blanching – it preserves the bright colour of the veggies.
• Finish with a drizzle of ghee instead of butter for an extra aromatic touch.
• Use Kashmiri red chili powder for colour without excessive heat; adjust with fresh chilies if you like it spicier.
