For the gravy, heat two tablespoons oil in a pan, add onion paste and sauté until golden brown. Add garlic paste, ginger paste, turmeric powder, remaining coriander powder and remaining red chilli powder and sauté for two minutes. Add cashewnut paste and cook for two to three minutes. Add tomato puree and continue to cook till oil surfaces. Add two cups of water and cook for further ten minutes or bring it to a boil. Add salt and the remaining garam masala powder and mix.
