Cubes of paneer covered in creamy, aromatic gravy; this is a dish similar to butter chicken, but it’s perfect for those who aren’t meat-eaters. You can switch the paneer for tofu, if you follow a plant-based diet. The subtle sweetness of the cashews works beautifully with the tomatoes and spices. Every bite will unfold a symphony of flavours.
