    For the second day it's the gravy that was served for the Cauliflower Biryani. Well technically I should have posted it along with the rice, but didn't have the heart not making this a star dish! The first time Amma made this gravy, she had actually made with Paneer and along with a Veg biryani and the combination was a hit. Imagine I didn't click pictures nor take the recipe from her until very late.

    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.

    The days are cold in the morning, it's very chill when you get out at 6 in the morning. I love those moments venturing out, however I love sleep in too. Life surely offers you such complicated things to decide!..:)

    Let's enjoy this gravy for now.

    Cashew Tomato Gravy

    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.

      Sounds simple and delicious. Valli, can we roast the tomatoes on a skillet and just mash it?

      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
