About Kaju masala

Kaju Masala is a rich and flavorful Indian curry made with cashews (kaju) as the star ingredient. This dish typically consists of cashews simmered in a creamy tomato-based gravy infused with aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala. Often enriched with cream or coconut milk, it has a mildly sweet and spicy profile, making it a favorite in North Indian cuisine. Cashews provide a healthy source of plant-based fats, protein, magnesium, and antioxidants, contributing to heart and bone health. However, the dish can be calorie-dense due to the use of cream, oil, and the natural fat content of cashews. It’s often enjoyed with rice or naan, making it a satisfying and indulgent choice for special occasions. Moderation is key to balancing its nutrient benefits with its rich and creamy nature.
