How to Cook:

Chop the onions, green chillies, babycorn and keep it aside. Boil the tomatoes and puree it. Boil the babycorn for  5-7 minutes. Heat oil in the pan and add the chopped onions and green chillies. Saute it well. Add the ginger-garlic paste and mix well. Add the boiled babycorn pieces. Saute it followed by the tomato puree and cook till the raw smell disappears. Add the turmeric powder, chilly powder, coriander powder and garam masala powder and mix it well. Grind the almonds (you can also use cashewnuts instead of almonds) and add it to the gravy and mix well. Add the fresh cream (I used the layers of cream from the boiled milk) and salt and cook till the gravy thickens. Garnish it with coriander leaves. Serve hot with parathas.
