Notes

  • Prep ingredients by chopping all very finely!
  • Make sure to use an authentic tandoori masala spice blend
  • Use cheese from a block or cheese slices to avoid the extra anti-caking ingredients that comes in pre-shredded cheese bags
  • You can always change the consistency of the cheese sauce by adding milk to make creamier
  • When reheating, adding a little water or milk will also help to loosen consistency of the sauce
