This is my own version of White Handi that my mother makes in Sukkur. No red chilli, only creamy and flavourful. Perfect for dinner with naan. The creamy texture comes from the fresh cream and yogurt, while the subtle heat from green chillies adds a gentle kick. The dish is enriched with crushed cashew nuts, making the gravy smooth and nutty. The aroma of cumin and the freshness of coriander complete the experience.
