Sauté 1-2 slit green chilies along with the onions for an extra kick of heat.

Paneer Tomato Korma can be part of a balanced diet. It's a good source of protein and calcium from paneer and healthy fats from cashews. However, it is also rich in calories and fat due to the cream, ghee, and cashews. To make it healthier, you can reduce the amount of oil/ghee and use milk instead of cream.

For a super smooth gravy, ensure you blend the soaked cashews into a very fine paste. If you still want it smoother, you can strain the tomato puree before adding it, or even blend the entire onion-tomato masala before adding the cashew paste and paneer.
Store leftover Paneer Tomato Korma in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. The gravy may thicken upon cooling; you can add a splash of water or milk while reheating on the stovetop or in the microwave.
