    Heat remaining 1-tablespoon oil in the same kadahi (use 2-tablespoons oil if you are not using a non-stick kadai to prevent sticking). Add onion paste and grated beetroot.

  14. step-14
    Add roasted cashew nuts. Mix well and cook for a minute.
  15. step-15
    Add 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup water.
  16. step-16
    Mix well and cook covered for 3-minutes to prevent splattering.
  17. step-17
    Remove the lid, mix well and cook uncovered until gravy turns little thick. Add kasuri methi and chopped coriander leaves.
  18. step-18
    Mix well and turn off the flame. Kaju Curry is now ready for serving.

Kaju Curry turned out awesome.I got confused with the measurement as to how much 'a Cup'would be...glad my wife was there to help.

The pinch of cardamom powder actually did the magic trick of making it a restaurant like taste.

The quantity is indeed for 3 servings..

Highly recommended to try.

My husband thought this recipe was okay. My sister-in-law loved it and her 2 year old ate it too. If you like Paneer masala than you will like this.
I added less cashews at the end than the recipe called for but still I thought it was too much. (But if you love cashews and want one in every bite, then the amount called for would be great.)

I would make this again.

One question: Are you supposed to grind up the cinnamon with the onion or take it out?

Response: Hello Amanda, cinnamon is ground with onion in this recipe. However, if you don't like the flavor of cinnamon, you can omit it.
