I got this recipe by accident. It was in an old savvy magazine which was lying in my friend's place. I knew I had to try this recipe the moment I read it. The sweet flavor of the cashew with the mild tangy flavor of kalonji, makes this curry, exotic, rich and delectable. I hope you enjoy trying this curry as much as I did.
