2. Interactive Ingredients Checklist & Keto / High-Protein Swaps
The key to this recipe is using high-quality ingredients that make up the sauce.
I use a combination of unsalted butter, heavy cream, and chicken broth to create a rich and creamy base.
The spices – garam masala, cumin, and cayenne pepper – add depth and warmth to the dish.
Don’t be afraid to use fresh and high-quality spices for the best flavor.
