Notes

My Secret Tips

• Extra Crunch: You can lightly fry the baby corn in a little butter before adding it to the gravy for a richer taste.
• Vegan Option: Replace butter with oil and cashew paste with coconut milk or almond paste.
• Smoky Flavor: To get that real restaurant taste, you can do a small charcoal dhungar (smoke) at the end.
