Tips & Secrets
- Using fresh, homemade chhena is the absolute secret; it provides a creamy taste that store-bought paneer lacks.
- Do not cover the pan while sautéing; this allows the moisture to evaporate and helps achieve a crispy finish.
- Adding a pinch of amchur (dry mango powder) at the end can provide a tangy lift to the savory flavors.
