Andhra Style Tomato Cashew Spicy Curry | Kaju Masala Curry | Tomato Kaju Masala Curry - The Andhra Style Tomato Cashew Spicy Curry goes really well with Rotis and Chapathis. It is a wedding special recipe and is spicy and aromatic and tastes really special.
Strictly speaking it is a Punjabi Dhaba special that has been modified into a Telugu wedding special with a Telugu touch. It is a simple recipe and perfect for weekends and parties. It teams well with Telangana Baghara Rice too.

Tips
- The Curry tastes better if the Tomatoes are country ones with a sour taste.
Oil:
-
I am making the wedding style recipe so the Oils are a little on the heavy side but you could reduce them if you like. But the curry actually tastes good with more Oil.
-
Finally add some Ghee for a nice aroma. Those who do not like Ghee can skip it.
Cashew Nut Paste:
- Restaurant style curries have a thick gravy and the Curry should not be watery. That is why we should use Cashew Paste. In case, you do not have Cashew Paste, you could have half a cup of beaten Curd and cook the Curry on a low flame until it gets mixed totally into the Curry.
