## Tips

- The creator notes that adding chili flakes, dry coriander powder, and garam masala are optional steps to enhance the flavor but are not part of an authentic shanwari recipe.
- Removing tomato skins is easily done after they have been steamed.
- The dish is ready when you see butter separating from the sides of the pan.
