NAMASTE 🙏! I hope all are in good health and enjoying the life.
I enjoy something to create amazing things and bringing ingredients together. Cooking is a therapy. It increases happiness if our mood is low. So guys if anyone are suffering from anxiety, stress and low mood then enjoy spending time in kitchen. It could help to increase happiness😀.
Anyway Today I thought to make Rich and insanely delicious Red Gravy Cashew curry or kaju curry masala. This is rich,creamy, heavy food so we used to eat this in lunch time and avoid to eat at night.
If you have never had kaju Masala then do try this recipe for any Occasion. It is also mild and not spicy, so its perfect for kids.
It goes well with Naan/plain chapati or Paranthas.
