Note

For a vegan version, substitute ghee with vegetable oil or coconut oil.

If you prefer a milder curry, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper or omit the green chili.

Toasted cashews can be prepared by dry-roasting raw cashews in a pan over medium heat until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of water if needed.
