Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 cup onion, chopped
  • 2 tbsp ginger garlic paste
  • 4 small tomatoes, chopped
  • ¼ cup cashew nuts
  • 2 tsp garam masala powder
  • 2 tsp coriander powder
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder
  • ½ tbsp red chilly powder
  • 14 oz cottage cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1 tsp dried fenugreek leaves
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Start by marinating the cottage cheese cubes in a bit of salt, turmeric powder, red chilly powder and garam masala powder for 15-30 minutes.
  • Next, heat up some butter in the pot and fry the cottage cheese for 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove them out and set them aside.
  • Add some more butter in the same pot and saute some cumin seeds, chopped onions, chopped tomatoes, ginger-garlic paste, cashewnuts, coriander powder, garam masala powder and salt until the mixture starts to come together.
  • Once the tomatoes and onions seem softened, remove the mixture from heat and allow it to cool down. Use a stick blend to blitz everything together until you get a uniform mixture.
  • Turn the heat back on and add the cream, cottage cheese cubes and a generous sprinkle of dried fenugreek leaves.
  • Let the curry simmer for a few minutes and it's done!
