Fantastic recipe, I used a red chili less, but added 2 tomatoes to improve the color and enhance the taste, even my husband asked how I made it.

Hi I loved this. Just made it and tasted it too, it is really good. But some questions: How did you get that green color? I fell for the color and decided to try. But the color I achieved was a peachish one, not green! Would like to upload an image but I don;t see any icon. But some changes I made: a. I boiled the cashews with the drumsticks. b. Then I added salt and the paste c. And finally the coconut milk and just only warmed it up, did not let the milk cook, as this in my opinion is not a good thing to do as the coconut milk releases the oils and we might end up taking up the levels of the saturated fats in the food. But what a brilliant recipe! Thanks to Tarlaben''s team!
