Cashew is all time favourite for all.one usually picks it up from Temple Prasad and curries. Nothing to beat the taste of curry full of Cashews. It goes well with Roti,Naan,Chapatis.

The Cashew Curry served in Southern Indian in weddings is usually very spicy and hot. But I am making it in Punjabi Restaurant style. It has less spice and masalas and tastes Authentic.

Tips

Curry:

  1. This Curry will be white in color, so do not over fry, this retains its taste and color

  2. This Curry is less spicy and slightly sweet. I used one green chilli, but you can use more if you prefer it more spicy.

  3. Grind Onions and Cashews into a very smooth paste to get a thick gravy

  4. Cook the curry on a low flame patiently to enhance its taste with out burning the bottom.

Cashew:

  1. Fry the Cashews till they turn light brown, instead of Golden brown.

Ghee-Butter-Oil:

  1. This Curry tastes good if made in Ghee. You can use Oil if you want.
