Create the Gravy Base
Simmer the Masala
Combine and Finish the Curry
Substitute hung curd with a thick, unsweetened plant-based yogurt (like coconut or soy). Use coconut cream instead of heavy cream and a neutral oil in place of butter.
Replace mushrooms with 250g of paneer cubes, firm tofu, or pre-boiled chickpeas. Adjust marination and cooking times accordingly.
For a nut-free gravy, replace cashews with 2 tablespoons of soaked sunflower seeds or melon seeds (magaz) to achieve a similar creamy consistency.
Add 1 tablespoon of tomato paste along with the tomato puree to intensify the tomato flavor and deepen the color of the gravy.
