How to make kaju curry?

Firstly, soak the 10-12 cashew nuts, 1 tbsp poppy seeds, and 1 tbsp white melon seeds in warm water for about 30 minutes.

Drain and transfer them to a blender. Add the water as required and blend until you have a smooth and creamy paste. Set aside.

Now, heat 4-5 tbsp of oil in a pan or kadai over low heat. Add the 1 cup cashew nuts and fry until they turn golden brown. Take them out and keep them aside.

Then in the same oil add the 2 chopped onions and saute until they turn golden brown.

After that, add the 8 garlic cloves, 1 small piece of ginger, 2 chopped tomatoes, and salt to taste to the pan. Saute for about a minute until the raw aroma disappears.

Then take it out on a plate and allow it to cool.

After it cools down, put it in a mixer jar and grind it to make a paste. Keep it aside.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add 2 bay leaves, 1 cinnamon stick, and 2-3 cloves, and let them splutter.

Then add the onion-tomato paste to the pan and cook until the oil starts to separate from the masala.

Add 1 tbsp Kashmiri red chili powder and 1/4 tsp turmeric powder. Stir to combine.

Then reduce the heat to low and add the cashew nut paste to the pan. Mix well with the masala.

Allow the curry to simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the cashew nut paste to cook properly.

After the simmering time, pour in the 1/2 cup fresh cream, 1/2 tsp garam masala, and 1 tsp sugar over the curry. Mix well.

After that, add roasted cashew nuts and water as required. Mix it and Cook it, ensuring that the curry is heated through and the flavors are well blended.

Then add 1 tbsp Kasuri methi and coriander leaves. Mix properly.

Your delicious kaju curry is now ready to be served! Serve it hot with steamed rice, naan, or chapati.
