Instructions:

Make the paste:

Blend the chopped onion, green chilies, ginger, garlic, and soaked cashews with a little water to make a smooth paste.

Prepare the fenugreek:

Wash and chop the fenugreek leaves. If desired, sprinkle a little salt on the leaves, let them sit for 10 minutes, and squeeze out the excess water to reduce bitterness.

Cook the base:

Heat oil or ghee in a pan. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add the prepared paste and sauté on medium heat until the oil separates.

Add the spices:

Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt. Sauté for another minute.

Add fenugreek and peas:

Add the chopped fenugreek leaves and green peas. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the fenugreek is tender.

Add the cream:

Reduce the heat to low. Add the cream. Mix well and cook for 3-4 minutes. If the gravy is too thick, add a little water or milk. Final preparations:

Add the garam masala and sugar (if using). Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes. Taste and adjust the salt if needed.

Serving:

Serve hot with roti, naan, or rice.
