Almond Curry

It is nutritious , easy to make, yummy and of course, it's different!!

Pressure cook one cup 3-hour-soaked-and-peeled almonds for 2 whistles along with one cup of water.Drain the almonds but do not throw the drained water.

Fry one onion in oil till brown in colour but not crisp. These onions along with 5 cashews, 1"ginger, 2 flakes garlic , half cup cream,1 tsp sesame seeds(til), 1/2 tsp poppy seeds(khus khus) and 2 tablespoon curd, are to be grinded to a paste.

Take a little ghee, add cardamons(elaichi), cloves(laung), cinnamon(dalchini) whole in the ratio of 2:2:1 and one bay leaf.Now add the cooked and drained almonds, the ground masala,salt and cook till oil seperates.Add the nut water and cook till the gravy thickens.Stir in half cup cream and simmer for 2 minutes. Add 1 tbsp grated paneer and 1tbsp chopped coriander leaves after putting off the heat.Tastes delicious with stuffed paratas and plain rotis.
