Cooking Instructions

Tips & Secrets

  • Use Kashmiri red chili powder to get that vibrant restaurant-style red color without excessive heat.
  • Always charcoal-smoke the paneer (Dhungar method) after grilling for an authentic tandoori flavor profile at home.
  • Don't overcook the paneer after adding it to the gravy, as it can become rubbery and lose its softness.
  • Rub the kasuri methi between your palms before adding to release the essential oils and maximize its scent.
