This is a curry on the 'Specials' menu from Imry's takeaway. It is described simply as a mild dish with fresh cream and cashew nuts. I have tried to replicate his dish which tasted to me like a Pasanda with tomato in it. This is my first effort - close but not quite there. It looks identical but the taste needs a bit more more work. I am going to experiment with different ways of including the tomato. This has tomato ketchup in it. Once I'm happy with it I'll post the recipe.
I think it looks good though!

Stephen, that looks pretty nice. I have eaten vegetable Nentara before and recall enjoying it. Have you thought of adding the tomato by the inclusion of either a Makhani Gravy (Butter Sauce) or a Masala Sauce. Both of these are very Indian in style and flavour but rich in tomato. I have recently had some very pleasing results using hybrids of these sauces with base gravy. The ratios of each can give a lot of control as to the scale of tomato depth.
I used Mridula Baljekar's "The Real Balti" Makhani Gravy which is good. I believe Chewytikka has a Masala Sauce video or there is a recipe in J & P L:ardner's Balti book. I'm sure you wont struggle to find a good Indian Tomato sauce.
Of course it may be something as simple as using Campbell's Tomato Soup concentrate which I understand was common in BIR kitchens for that authentic taste.

Yes I had thought of using tomato soup or tomato puree dilute. I did 't have any soup so used the ketchup with no sugar to give some sweetness. It's quite good fun trying to experiment and work out a clone recipe.

I've always wondered what Nentara tastes like Stephen. I've also clocked cases of Heinz tomato soup in various places, so they must be using it somewhere.
