Ingredients:

Preparation Time: 30 minutes

Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Paste:
   To begin, soak the cashews and one onion in warm water for about 2 minutes. Once soaked, drain the water and blend the cashews, soaked onion, tomato, garlic, ginger, and cumin seeds together, adding a little water as needed to form a smooth paste. Set this paste aside.

2. Cook the Whole Spices:
   Heat ghee in a pan or kadai over medium heat. Add the bay leaf, cloves, and cinnamon stick, allowing them to cook for about 15 seconds until they release their fragrance.

3. Sauté the Onions:
   Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté it until it turns golden brown. This will give the dish a rich base flavor.

4. Add Tomatoes:
   Now, add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook for a few minutes, allowing them to soften and blend with the onions.

5. Add the Vegetables:
   Add the chopped cauliflower, green beans, carrots, and peas to the pan. Stir everything together to ensure the vegetables are evenly mixed with the onion-tomato base.

6. Spices and Seasoning:
   Sprinkle in the coriander powder, red chili powder, and garam masala powder. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the spices. Add salt to taste, then pour in about 1/2 cup of water. Cover the pan with a lid and allow the vegetables to cook for about 5-7 minutes, until they are tender but not mushy.

7. Add the Paste:
   After the vegetables are cooked, add the prepared cashew-onion-tomato paste to the pan. Stir everything well and cook for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.

8. Final Adjustments:
   Taste the dish and adjust the salt if needed. Once cooked, turn off the heat and garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves for an added touch of freshness.

9. Serving:
   Serve the Nawabi Mixed Vegetable Gravy hot with roti, paratha, or steamed rice. It also pairs wonderfully with Gujarati dal and a side of salad for a wholesome meal.
