Finish and Garnish
Replace paneer with firm tofu or chickpeas. Substitute fresh cream with full-fat coconut cream or an equal amount of cashew cream for a dairy-free version.
For a royal touch, add 1 tablespoon of melon seeds (magaz) to the cashews when making the paste. Finish the dish with a pinch of saffron soaked in warm milk (or water) and a few drops of kewra water.
Add 1-2 finely chopped green chilies along with the ginger-garlic paste for an extra kick of heat.
For a nut-free gravy, replace the cashew paste with a paste made from 2 tablespoons of roasted gram flour (besan) cooked in the oil before adding onions, or use a paste of melon seeds (magaz).

Subz Handi can be a healthy dish as it's packed with various vegetables, providing fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The paneer and cashews offer protein and healthy fats. However, it is also rich due to the use of cream and oil, so it's best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. To make it healthier, you can reduce the amount of cream and oil.
Yes, absolutely. To make it vegan, replace the paneer with cubed firm tofu or boiled chickpeas. For the creaminess, substitute dairy cream with coconut cream, or blend a few more soaked cashews with water to make a richer cashew cream.
A combination of colorful and textured vegetables works best. Classic choices include carrots, French beans, cauliflower, green peas, and potatoes. You can also add bell peppers (capsicum), sweet corn, or mushrooms for variation.
There could be a few reasons. First, ensure your cashew paste is blended to be completely smooth and lump-free. Second, use full-fat cream for the best results; low-fat versions won't provide the same richness. Lastly, make sure to sauté the onion-tomato masala properly until oil separates, as this forms the foundation of a good gravy.
Yes, Subz Handi stores well. You can refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 3 days. The gravy will thicken upon cooling. When reheating, add a splash of warm water or milk to adjust the consistency. It's best to add the fresh cream just before serving if making it far in advance.
