Note

I have used 10 cashew nuts in this recipe, which comes to only 2 cashew nuts per serving. Cashew nuts add a lovely taste to the gravy, while keeping the net carbs of the curry to 3.6g per serving. If you are totally avoiding cashew nuts in your keto diet, you can replace this with blanched and peeled almonds instead. This will bring down the net carbs to 3g per serving. The other option is to avoid adding any nuts at all.
