Ingredients for Amit S Amazing Curry

  • Panir
  • Tomatoes
  • 1 large onion
  • 1/2 cup raw cashews
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Ground Cloves
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
  • Cooking Oil

How to Make Amit S Amazing Curry

  1. Blend 1 large onion and 1 large tomato into a smooth paste.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of ginger-garlic paste to the blended onion and tomato mixture.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tomato mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the oil begins to separate from the mixture (about 8-10 minutes).
  4. Add 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  5. Add 1/2 cup of water and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  6. In a blender, combine 1/2 cup raw cashews and 1/4 cup heavy cream. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  7. Pour the cashew cream mixture into the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring gently to combine.
  8. Cut 8 ounces of paneer cheese into small, bite-sized pieces. Add the paneer to the curry and simmer for 5 minutes, or until heated through and slightly softened.
  9. Garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro before serving. Serve hot with rice or naan bread.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
