When I asked her for the recipe, saying that Paneer was awesome, she was saying it's quite simple to assemble. I never came around making the Paneer cashew tomato gravy, though finally settled with a plain cashew fried in tomato sauce. When you are confused on what to make for the biryani, especially when you are planning a feast this will surely fit the bill.
Let's enjoy this gravy for now.
Ingredients Needed:
Whole Cashew Nuts - 10 -15
Butter - 1 tbsp
Onions - 1 big
Ginger Garlic paste - 1/2 tsp
Tomatoes - 2 medium
Red Chili powder - 1 tsp
Coriander powder - 1 tsp
Water - 1 & 1/2 cups
Coriander leaves handful
Salt to taste
Oil - 1 tsp
How to make Cashew Tomato Gravy
For the tomatoes, toss the tomatoes over flame, when the skin turns colour, remove. Cool and remove the skin. Grate the tomatoes to get fine paste.
Heat a tbsp of butter in a non stick pan, take the whole cashew nuts and saute to golden colour. Remove and keep aside.
Then saute finely chopped onions, then ginger garlic paste, Stir till the onions turn colour, add red chilli powder.
When the onion mix gets cooked, add grated tomato paste. coriander powder. Saute well, then add a cup of water, bring to boil. When it starts boiling, simmer and cook for 5 mins. Then add finely chopped coriander leaves, finally the fried cashew nuts. Cook for couple of minutes and remove.
Serve with Cauliflower Dum Biryani.

looks very nice valli and cashew must have made it richer too.
Suma Gandlur says
Sounds simple and delicious. Valli, can we roast the tomatoes on a skillet and just mash it?
Srivalli says
Suma Roasting over the flame gives that typical smoked aroma and adds a nice aroma to the gravy..:)..though you can always roast on a skillet
