Tips & Secrets
- Sautéing the onion petals separately ensures they retain their shape and crunch, which is vital for this dish.
- Adding a tablespoon of thick yogurt at the masala stage can add a subtle tang and richness to the gravy.
- Use red onions for the petals as they offer a better sweetness and color contrast against the white paneer.
- Always rub the kasuri methi between your palms before adding to release its maximum aromatic flavor.
