To Begin making the Goan Kaju Curry recipe, soak the cashew nuts into hot water for minimum 30 minutes.

For making the gravy, place a kadai on medium heat and add a teaspoon of oil. Add the finely chopped onion and garlic and saute until the onion is translucent.
Once cooled, grind the above mentioned grated coconut and spice mixture along with the onions to make a smooth paste, by adding a little water.
In the same pan where you sauteed the onions, heat a teaspoon of oil on medium heat. Add the chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder and saute them until it softens. Add the capsicum and saute for a couple of minutes until it softens and cooks through.
