Restaurant-Style Kadai Paneer (with Gravy, American-Style)

A juicy, restaurant-style Kadai Paneer inspired by Ranveer Brar’s US and Dubai restaurant version. This recipe features a rich, medium-red gravy with a balance of tangy tomatoes, creamy cashews, aromatic spices, and tender paneer. The unique touch: a homemade spice blend, whole garlic, and a luscious, not-too-dry sauce.
