Kaju masala is a very rich and creamy dish.Its usually specialty dish in restaurants.I love making this when I have guest.Its very filling so make it with chapathi if possible, combination of Naan will only make it more heavy.You can avoid panner if you dont like it either way taste will be good.I am a big fan of panner so I added it.

Try out this special dish this Diwali.
