Soak cashews in warm water for atleast 30-40 minutes.

In a mixer add tomatoes, green chilli, 4-5 broken cashews and puree to fine paste
I puteed to this consistency as shown in the pic
This is the roasted onion with chilli powder.
Add tomato puree and saute. Add other masalas except salt.
Saute till oil starts to separate.
Now add crushed kasuri methi or dried fenugreek leaves and roast.
Add water as thick or loose you like your gravy to be
Now add cashews and salt and cook covered for 5 minutes.
Lower the flame add cream

Add the paneer cubes
I usually cut heart, flower or star shapes of the paneer, for my little guests, they love the little surprise when they dip into the yummy and rich gravy
