Replace the dairy fresh cream with an equal amount of coconut cream or cashew cream for a fully plant-based dish.
After frying, marinate the soya chaap pieces in a mixture of thick yogurt (or vegan yogurt), 1 tsp tandoori masala, and lemon juice for 30 minutes before adding them to the gravy.
Increase the amount of cashews to 20-25 or add 2 tablespoons of melon seeds (magaz) to the onion-tomato mixture before blending.
Add 1/2 tsp of regular red chili powder along with the Kashmiri chili powder, or increase the number of green chilies.

Store leftover Soya Chaap Masala in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The gravy will thicken upon cooling; add a splash of hot water or milk when reheating on the stovetop or in the microwave.
