3) Green chillies - 4nos

4) Cashews - handful

Preparation Method: 

1) For the gravy base - take the onion, tomato, green chilli & handful of cashews and put them in a blender. 

2) Add little water while grinding, make sure it's a smooth, thick paste. 

3) Now heat oil in a kadai add Jeera/cumin seeds, Bayleaf, Dalchini, ginger garlic paste & turmeric powder. Roast all of them together. 

4) Next, add the ground masala paste into the kadai and cook the masala for 10-15min untill oil separates from the sides of the kadai.

5) Add red chilli powder, Kitchen king masala/Curry powder whichever is available, along with 1/2 tsp turmeric & salt. 

6) Mix all these spices well with the cooked masala. At this stage add some water as required to adjust the consistency, make sure it's not too watery, has to be a semi thick gravy. 

7) Now, add the potato/aloo, Cauliflower/gobi & green peas/matar. We have already pre-boiled the potato/aloo,  cauliflower/gobi and used frozen green peas/matar. 

8) Mix all the vegetables together evenly and gently so they don't break.

9) Once mixed close a lid and cook it for 10-15min. 

This will help the veggies soak in that thick gravy well. 

10) After 10-12min check it and turn off the gas and garnish with coriander leaves. 

Please Note: This gravy should have a semi thick consistency and not very watery.
