This is a simple vegetable curry which taste really delicious. It is simple to make and goes great with roti, chapati, phulka, ghee rice or pulao. It has a cashew base and instead of sauteing onions and tomatoes, i boiled them with cashews till it is cooked, this way the rawness is gone and the whole gravy got a nice creamy finish.

Serves: 4
Vegetables – 3 cups ( i used beets, broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes and carrots)
Paneer – 1 cup cubed
