Subs

If you don’t have all the spices, a good quality curry powder or tikka seasoning can be used as a shortcut, just adjust to taste.

The kasuri methi (dried fenugreek) is optional but really elevates the flavour and gives it that proper takeaway style finish.

You can swap the cream for a lighter option like half fat crème fraîche.

Mozzarella gives the best melt, but cheddar or a light cheese mix will also work.

Make It Lighter / Add Veg

To make this a bit lighter, you can reduce the cheese slightly or swap for a lighter mozzarella, and use a lower-fat cream or replace some of it with extra yoghurt for a lighter sauce (make sure to stir in off heat).

For a lower calorie option, serve with a slightly smaller portion of potatoes or swap some of them for extra veg on the side.

You could also stir spinach or peas directly into the sauce towards the end for an easy way to add veg without extra prep.
