Our Review Factors
While reviewing the two variants of Zissto Cooking Gravy, what were our focus parameters? Taste, texture, and convenience were the prime aspects we gauged these gravies on.
1. Taste
Makhani gravies are relished for the rich, buttery flavors. Bhuna masala, on the other hand, means cooked spices that have more intense, deeper flavors and are essentially heavy on spice.
We gauged these flavor profiles then checked for freshness, balance of flavors, and potency.
2. Texture
Were the cooking gravies thick like pastes or were they flowy like a sauce? Were all ingredients puréed or could we see some bits and chunks?
How did the texture change during and after cooking? Do the gravies coat the veggies and paneer cubes well?
3. Convenience
In addition to some water, veggies/paneer, what else do these cooking gravies need? Spices to adjust seasoning?
How long does it take to have these dishes ready? Would you be better off ordering in?
4. Other Parameters
The price, packaging, shelf life, and ingredients were taken note of here.
Zissto Cooking Gravy Flavours – Our Review Process
We used 100 grams of the gravies and adjusted the vegetables and paneer accordingly, as per ratios mentioned on the jar.
We did not add salt or spices on our own.
Zissto Cooking Gravy Flavours – Detailed Review
How we cooked, the observations, what we paired them with, and our overall experience with these cooking gravies has been decoded in the following section.
1. Makhani Butter
Our Experience
The flavor profile does complete justice to the ‘Makhani’ tag. Spiced right with a hint of sweetness, this gravy had the natural tanginess of tomatoes. We could also taste the creamy richness of butter and cashews, this was pretty fresh. The salt was slightly on the lower side but one can adjust it by adding a fat pinch.
The consistency was very easy to work with, neither a solidified block nor a flowy paste. It coated the paneer cubes and they took on flavors well. This orange-hued sauce had a refreshing aroma of tomatoes, laced with an appetizing buttery flavor. Devoid of industrial stinks, this had a desirable olfactory presence.

Our Experience
If you’ve tried cooking tomato-onion gravies or Indian sabzis, you know the slower and longer you let it cook, the deeper flavors it develops, and the tastier your final dish is.
Zissto Bhuna Sukha Masala is an exceptionally convenient cooking gravy as it reduces your prep time by less than half!
Similar to our experience with the first variant, this gravy has fresh, prominent, and natural flavors. Four elements-ginger, garlic, onion, and tomatoes, are completely in sync with each characteristic flavor shining bright. The seasoning was also spot-on and just like Makhani Butter, this coated the veggies evenly. It had that caramelized brown hue of onions with a tinge of red coming from tomatoes.
