Tips

  1. The Tomato-Cashew paste that is used as a base in this curry should be smooth and even without any fragments. Only then we get the best taste. To get a smooth paste, Cashew nuts should be soaked and then ground.

  2. Onions should be chopped in an even and thin manner and fried well. That gives thickness to the gravy and taste to the curry.

  3. Cashews and Mushrooms should be fried together. That will keep the Mushrooms from going soggy. To get the perfect fry, first fry the Cashews a little and then add Mushrooms and continue drying until the Cashews turn brown.

  4. If the Mushrooms are fried too much, they become wafer thin and the curry does not taste all that good.

  5. Cut the Mushrooms into only two halves. They should not be chopped into too small pieces.

  6. I add ghee at the very last before taking the curry off the flame. It gives the curry a balanced taste.

How does the Curry get its colour?

  1. The colour to a curry comes from the ingredients and the way it is fried. I have used Kashmiri Red Mirchi powder along with regular Mirchi powder for this curry. It has a strong flavor as well as a rich colour.

  2. If you do not have Kashmiri Mirchi powder, use a table spoon of our regular Mirchi Powder.
