Notes

  • You can substitute milk with cream.
  • Vary the spices as per your taste.
  • More the addition of cashews, creamier and richer is the dish.
  • Vary the amount of green chilies as per your taste. You can substitute it with serrano pepper or jalapeno.
  • If you are substituting mushroom with paneer in the recipe, then add paneer in step 4 after milk comes to boil. You can saute paneer in another pan and add or add directly. Both tastes good.
