Aloo Laajawaab Recipe
This dish uses the highly appreciated ingredient shahjeera or caraway seeds that impart a wonderful flavour to the gravy. A thick paste is made with cashewnuts and added to the gravy for thickening. You can adjust the quantity of milk to balance out the sourness of the curds and to bring the gravy to the required consistency.
