  2. Add onion, ginger, garlic, and green chili to a blender or food processor and blend to make a rough paste.

Notes

  • To make this curry dairy-free, stir in unsweetened coconut cream in the end. Or you can make the cashew cream by soaking the cashews in water and then blending with water instead of milk.
