When it cooked open the cooker, strain if any extra liquid there and mash it. Mix besan, and one tablespoon of the onion paste and make small(lemon sized) balls with it.
Heat oil in a kadai for frying the balls. When the oil is hot, reduce the flame and add the balls one by one and fry till golden brown, keep aside.
Heat 2 or 3 tbsp of oil(you can use the same oil used for frying the veggie balls), add cinnamon and cloves. Then add the remaining onion paste and fry it in a low flame till the colour changes. If needed add oil little by little for frying onion paste.
Reduce the flame and add chilli pdr, coriander pdr and turmeric pdr. When the raw smell goes add the tomato puree.
Now add 2 cups of water, some more salt for the gravy and let it boil for 2mins. Add the cashew paste with 1/2 cup of water and boil again for 2 mins. The gravy will become semi thick and it is almost done.
Finally add the fried balls to the gravy. Remove from fire and garnish with coriander leaves!
This curry is a good combination for nan, parotta or chappathi.
