Method

For the padwals

Peel and cut the padwals into 75 mm. (3") long pieces. Slit and carefully deseed them.
Parboil the padwal pieces in salted hot water. Keep aside.
Mix all the remaining ingredients and stuff the padvals. Secure with toothpicks and cook in a pan using oil till light golden and keep aside.

How to proceed

Heat oil in a sauce pan and add the bay leave, cloves, peppercorns and cumin seeds. When the cumin seeds crackle, add the besan and roast it on a low flame till the colour changes.
Add tomato purée, chilli powder, garam masala, turmeric powder and cook till the oil separates. Add 1 cup water, cashewnut paste and salt and bring the gravy to a boil.
Add the padwals and left over stuffing, if any, and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Add the cream, crushed dried fenugreek leaves, coriander and mix well.
Serve hot garnished with almonds and cream.
