🧾 Ingredient Notes
Here is the pic of the ingredients used in making this delicious dahi arbi sabzi. All the ingredients are basic and easily available.
- Cashews: Here I have soaked the nuts in warm water and make a paste. This gives curry a nice creamy texture. Also, it helps to thicken the gravy.
- Yogurt: I use full-fat whole milk yogurt. If you use low-fat or fat-free yogurt then the gravy will be watery and thin.
- Rock salt: Because I made this during vrat, I have used rock salt. For regular days you can add table salt.
- Oil: If making for vrat, please use peanut oil or ghee.

3) Now add cashew paste. If the paste is too thick then add some water. Also, add red chili powder, cumin powder.
4) Mix well and simmer for 2 minutes.
5) Now lower the heat and slowly add whisk yogurt and using another hand keep mixing the yogurt into the gravy to avoid curdling.
