1

Start by making a paste in a blender jar with ginger, green chili (optional), a large chopped tomato, and a heaped tablespoon of soaked cashew nuts with 1/4 cup of water until smooth.

2

If the paste isn't smooth enough, add a few more tablespoons of water and blend again.

3

In a cup, mix 1/4 cup of water with 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon of Kashmiri red chili powder, 1 teaspoon of sweet paprika (optional), 1 teaspoon of ground coriander, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin to create a spice paste.

4

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pot over medium-high heat until hot, then add diced potatoes with a pinch of turmeric and salt, frying until golden brown.

5

Remove the potatoes and set them aside in a bowl.

6

In the same oil, add cauliflower florets with a pinch of salt and turmeric, frying until small brown spots appear, then remove and set aside.

7

Add 2 1/2 tablespoons of oil to the pot and add whole spices: green cardamoms and cloves (discarding the seeds from the cloves), followed by 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds, allowing them to crackle.

8

Switch off the stove or lower the heat, then slowly add the spice paste, being cautious of splattering, and turn the heat back to low, stirring until the oil is released.

9

Add the ginger-tomato-cashew nut paste to the pot, rinsing the blender jar with 1/4 cup of water, and add 1 teaspoon of salt, stirring on medium-low heat until thickened, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

10

Add the fried potatoes back into the pot with 1 cup of hot water, cover, and cook on low heat for 5 minutes.

11

After 5 minutes, add the cauliflower and a whole green chili (optional), cover, and cook on low heat for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

12

After 8 minutes, check the vegetables; if they are not soft, cover and cook for an additional 5 minutes until they are tender but not falling apart.

13

Taste the curry and add 1 teaspoon of sugar for balance (optional), then add 1/4 cup of frozen green peas, 1/2 teaspoon of garam masala powder, and 1 teaspoon of ghee (optional).

14

Cover on low heat for 1 minute before serving.
