- what is Basic Nawabi Paste made of ? See below image of list of ingredients for Basic Nawabi Paste.
-
- In a mixer put 3/4 cup sliced onions. Onions are a fundamental building block in many cuisines, including Indian cooking. They add a subtle sweetness and savory depth that serves as a base for the other spices in the Nawabi paste to bloom.
- Add 1 tbsp broken cashewnuts (kaju). Cashews are a good source of healthy fats, which add a rich and creamy texture to the paste. This creates a luxurious mouthfeel that is characteristic of Nawabi dishes. Cashews, when ground into a paste, act as a natural thickener.
- Add 1 tbsp chopped almonds (badam). Almonds add a nutty richness and depth of flavor to the curry base. When ground or blended, they release natural oils that create a smooth and creamy texture, enhancing the overall mouthfeel of the dish.
- Add 2 tsp whole coriander (dhania) seeds. Coriander seeds, when toasted or ground, release a warm, earthy aroma that complements the other spices used in Nawabi paste.
- Add 2 tsp cumin seeds (jeera).
- Add 1 tbsp poppy seeds (khus-khus). Poppy seeds add a subtle nutty taste and richness to the paste.
- Add 2 tsp aniseeds (saunf).
- Add 2 tbsp freshly grated coconut. Coconut flesh, milk, or cream adds a rich and creamy body to the paste. Coconut offers a subtle sweetness that balances the savory and sometimes spicy elements of the paste. Use this paste on the same day to make recipes of your choice. If you wish to store it in the deep-freezer for a few weeks, avoid adding coconut as the paste may get spoilt on storing. Pour in food-grade zip lock bags or airtight containers and store under freezer conditions. While making the sabzi using the stored gravy, thaw and use it as per the recipe. Towards the end, add 1 tbsp coconut milk instead of freshly grated coconut, mix well and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add 2 tsp roughly chopped ginger (adrak). Ginger has a complex aroma and flavor profile that is both warming and slightly spicy.
- Add 1 tsp roughly chopped green chillies. Green chilies add a distinct heat level to the paste. This heat can range from mild to fiery, depending on the type of green chili used and the amount included.
- Add 4 whole dry kashmiri red chillies , broken into pieces. Kashmiri red chillies are known for their deep red color, which intensifies and enriches the visual presentation of the Nawabi gravy.
- Add 2 cardamoms. Cardamoms, particularly green cardamoms, possess a warm and slightly sweet aroma with a touch of citrus and mint.
- Add 2 cloves (laung / lavang).
- Add 25 mm ( 1") piece cinnamon (dalchini).
- Add 7 curry leaves (kadi patta).
