Chef Kunal's Pro Secret Tip

To make rich dressings without oil, emulsify soaked peanuts or cashews with hung curd (Greek yogurt) and a pinch of roasted cumin. Dress leafy vegetables only just before serving to retain maximum crispness and vitality.

Recipe FAQs & Expert Advice

How long can I store leftover Grilled Chicken Sandwich Recipe?

You can store leftovers in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. When reheating, warm on medium-low heat on the stovetop and add 2–3 tablespoons of warm water if the gravy has thickened in the fridge.

Can I make this recipe vegan or dairy-free?

Yes! Simply substitute dairy ghee/butter with mustard oil or neutral cooking oil, and replace milk/curd with coconut milk or cashew cream where applicable.

What is the key technique to get restaurant-style flavor in this dish?

Focus on blooming whole spices in hot oil first, patiently sautéing the onion-tomato masala until oil separates, and finishing with a pinch of crushed roasted kasoori methi and freshly ground garam masala right before serving.
