  1. In a pan on medium heat, add butter and onions and garam masala and cook till onions are golden.
  2. Add in the ginger garlic paste and cook for a minute.
  3. Blend cashews with a few tbsp milk into a coarse paste. Add paste to the pan.
  4. Add in the salt, sugar and fenugreek leaves and mix well. Cook for 4-5 minutes on medium-low until the paste starts to thicken.
