Notes

You can substitute Italian seasoning with dried basil leaves, oregano, dried parsley, etc. You may also use pizza seasoning from your favorite takeaways.
You can even grind about 1 or 2 tablespoon cashews with water to make paste and add it to the recipe instead of cream. This will thicken even faster. So adjust the consistency accordingly.
This starter tastes best when served fresh. The sauce thickens as it cools down. In this case, you may thin down the sauce with some water for desired consistency and adjust the seasonings, accordingly.
You can substitute paneer with tofu, mushroom, or baby corn for a vegetarian version. For the nonvegetarian version use chicken, shrimp, steak, pork, etc.
If you are making this recipe for kids, simply skip red pepper flakes and pepper powder.
Feel free to use even milk instead of heavy cream. You can thicken the sauce by whisking 1 or 2 teaspoon flour (maida) in this case
