Going nuts over ....Cashew nut curry


Posted the24/04/2009 By Taste Spell ........... (Visit website)



When I read about the event in Poornima's blog I was transported to my childhood days.This cashew curry is an authentic dish that is made in green belt of Andhra pradesh(godavari dt).
Before getting into the recipe I should say something about cashewnut.
We all know it is a kidney shaped fruit attached to cashew apple(the pulpy part).But before the cashewnuts are fully developed they are green in color.The cashew nuts we get are from the matured seed but the curry I 'm writing about is usally made from immature(green) cashew seed.
My mom used to make curry from these seeds.It's absolutely delicious and rich. But the availabily is so less...that we can get those seeds only for a few weeks. I can never get enough of it....miss it soo much..:( Ok....for my version I used the regular cashews soaked overnight.
This is going to the event let's go nuts-cashewnuts hosted by poornima and Aquadaze

1 cup cashewnuts ,
2 medium onions,
2 ripe tomatoes,
