If the tomatoes being used in the curry are quite tangy, then cut down on the yogurt. Yogurt & cream: yogurt adds to the tanginess in the curry and one can adjust the amount to preference. Spices: we use whole spices like cinnamon stick, star anise, shahi jeera and ground spices like kashmiri red chili powder, coriander, and ground fennel in this recipe for lot of flavor and aroma. I use lots of ginger and garlic and pulse them fine using a food processor or any hand food chopper that you may have. Garlic & ginger: using fresh ginger and garlic is the key here. I used the same chopper for both onions and tomatoes. Similarly, the tomatoes can be pureed or chopped/grated.

I recommend using an onion chopper here as we want the onions to be really fine here (or grated). Onion & tomatoes: the base of the curry is made with onions and tomatoes.

Ghee roasted cashews are cooked along with onion, tomatoes and a whole bunch of whole and ground spices to make this flavorful curry.
