Masala of Restaurant style Kadai Paneer Recipe
When we talk about any Kadai Masala , the process differs in making the Masala paste.
Most of the Ingredients like Garlic , Ginger , Onion and Tomatoes are fried and cooled. Then a paste is prepared. That brings a smoky but subtle flavour to the dish.
Roasting the whole spices also release more flavours. Dry roasting is important, you need to do at slow flame . Keep an eye , you have to roast a little.
Capsicum is must. Kadai dish is just incomplete without this . It adds colour to your plate .
The consistency of gravy depends on your requirement. According to that add more water if required.
