Small potatoes or baby potatoes -7-8(boiled , pricked and marinated with salt and haldi powder)

Cashew - 2

Almond-  3

Salt- -- To taste

Haldi powder- A pinch

Onion-1medium (Chopped)

Kashmiri red chillies-2

Oil-Approx 1cup (For deep frying and making the curry)

Method-

Heat oil in a kadhai, fry the marinated and boiled baby potatoes till these turn golden brown .I have not peeled out the skin of the potatoes. If you wish, you can take them out. Keep aside over kitchen towel so that all excess oil is absorbed. In the same oil add chopped onion and kashmiri red chillies ,saute till done. Add ginger-garlic paste and saute till the raw smell vanishes. Add tomato puree and  cashew and almond pieces then saute till done. Let the mixture cool; grind it in a mixer with 1/2cup of water. Pour the done mixture again in the kadhai; let it boil ; add a pinch of haldi powder , garam masala powder and salt. (Be careful in adding salt as while marinating the potatoes, you have already added salt) Add the fried baby potatoes to the curry ,bring to boil for 5minutes. Switch off the stove and add cream and coriander leaves for garnishing. Serve hot with paratha or naan.
