Method:
Make paste of cashewnuts, ginger, green chillies, reduced milk and a few cardamoms.
Heat ghee in a pan, add cloves, the rest of the cardamoms and chopped onions, and saute. Make sure that it does not brown otherwise it will change the colour of the gravy.
Add the paste and cook for some time, stirring constantly so that it does not stick to the bottom.

Finish with cream or milk to adjust the consistency.
Remove to a bowl, garnish with chopped coriander, saffron drops, and almond flakes and serve.
