Note:
1. My Punjabi friend does another version - she blanches some onion and grinds it
with cashews, little grated coconut and some cream. adds this ground mix after
the tomato puree is added. Rest of steps follow this gives a more creamier and
slightly sweeter gravy.
2. My version is more for parties as it uses butter and cream. For a healthier day to
day version use less butter or use a mix of butter and oil.
