Notes

• You can make tomato puree in place of chopped tomatoes.
• Cashewnut adds a nice flavour and imparts richness to the gravy.
• Kasoori methi is yet another flavourful ingredient to the dish,don’t miss it to add.
• If you don’t have fresh cream substitute it with fresh yogurt.
• You can make it thicker and serve as a dry gravy too,but i have made it a little loose type one.
