Chef Kunal's Pro Secret Tip

Use freshly roasted and hand-ground whole spices for the most vibrant flavor profile. Allow aromatics to bloom gently in fat, and always taste your dish in the final 2 minutes of simmering to balance acidity, salt, and heat.

Recipe FAQs & Expert Advice

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.
