To begin making the Munthiri Masala Kurma Recipe, heat ghee in a heavy bottomed pan. Add 5-6 cashews and fry for 2-3 minutes till they are medium brown in colour. Once done, keep it aside

In a blender take remaining cashews and grind to a fine powder and keep aside.

In the same blender, add chopped onions, ginger, garlic and make it a fine paste without adding water.

Heat ghee in a heavy bottomed pan, add the onion ginger garlic paste and saute for a minute until the raw smell goes away.

Add the curry leaves, cashew powder, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, garam masala powder and sambar powder. Saute for a minute until it forms a good masala like consistency. 

Once done, add the tomato puree and a cup of water and let the Munthiri Masala Kurma Recipe simmer for a good 3 to 4 minutes. Check the salt and spices and adjust accordingly.

Finally transfer the Munthiri Masala Kurma to a serving bowl and top it with the roasted cashew nuts.
