cashew nut masala curry recipe is my favourite curry or sabzi recipe after the paneer based curries. it took me long time to post this recipe, but i certainly had not forgotten about it. even today, whenever i go to my hometown i never miss a opportunity to visit famous woodlands hotel in udupi which is famous for its spicykaju masala recipe.the one you get in most of the restaurant is dry version, but i have made it more creamy and saucy. i personally like it that way, but it is totally up to one individual taste and preference.

furthermore some important tips and suggestions for a perfect and creamykaju masala recipe.firstly, i heavily recommend to use whole and without any dents and cuts cashew or kaju’s. otherwise the kaju’s may dissolve with smaller size. secondly, roast the cashew’s in a low flame before adding it to the curry. otherwise, you may not have a crunchy nutty experience while serving. lastly, i have added full cream in this recipe which is completely optional and can be safely ignored.
