To begin making the Shahi Tindora Recipe (Tindora in Cashew Nut Curry), first prepare the Tindora and get all the ingredients ready and keep aside.

Heat a teaspoon of oil in a heavy bottomed pan or a skillet. Add the shahi jeera and allow it to crackle.

Once the onions are soft, add cashew nuts, green chilli and saute for a minute along with the onions.

Add tomatoes and saute well until all the raw smell goes off, tomatoes are soft and spices releases roasted aroma. Once all the ingredients are softened and cooked, turn off the heat and allow it to cool.

Once cooled, grind this shahi masala mixture into a smooth paste using a mixer grinder.

Heat ghee in the same pan as above and add the cut Tindora. Sprinkle some salt and stir fry them for about 5 minutes on medium heat until cooked through.
