Notes

For smooth cashew paste, soak about 10 to 12 cashews in water for 30 minutes and then grind to a smooth paste.
If desired, you can use curry powder or tandoori masala powder instead of garam masala powder.
Adjust the number of green chilies or jalapenos to taste.
You can add veggies like spinach, asparagus, capsicum or red bell peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, or any seasonal veggies of your choice to make it nutritious and filling.
To make it dairy free, use oil instead of butter in the recipe.
