Kaju Masala, or Kaju Curry, is a flavourful dish made with cashews in a smooth, spiced tomato-onion gravy, commonly found in North Indian cuisine. The cashews add a creamy texture and a nutty taste that pairs beautifully with spices like cinnamon, cloves, and shahi jeera. This dish is a great example of authentic Indian flavours.
