    Add tomato, salt, turmeric powder, cashew and saute for 2-3 minutes. The tomato should start to soften and break down. Add water, cover and cook on medium-low heat for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally. Allow it to cool down slightly. Remove any visible whole spices, then blend into a smooth paste. Optionally, you can strain this mixture for a smoother gravy.
