    Khoya Matar Kaju Masala Recipe | Restaurant Style Green Peas Cashew Gravy

    Khoya Matar Kaju Masala Recipe | Restaurant Style Green Peas Cashew Gravy with step by step pictures. Green Peas always tastes gravy when made into gravy. And I have always wondered how the gravy in restaurants tastes so yummy, so the secret is the khoya (Milk solids/ Mawa), it not only makes the gravy thick but also enhances the sweet. Both the Cashew nuts and the Khoya makes the gravy really rich. It is a perfect accomplishment with Roti, Poori , Pulao.

    In this recipe, I have used dry green peas. I soaked it overnight and then pressure cooked for 2 whistles, Fresh peas can also be added. Now let's see how to prepare Khoya Matar Kaju Masala.
