Tips & Secrets
- Frying the soya chaap chunks before adding them to the masala is mandatory to get the perfect chewy-yet-soft texture.
- Using a high-quality 'Kitchen King' masala provides the professional restaurant-style depth characteristic of this dish.
- Adding a dash of cream at the end balances the heat of the spices and creates a smooth, velvety consistency.
- Always use an iron tawa if possible; the reaction between the iron and tomatoes adds a distinct rustic Punjabi flavor.
