Add sliced onions, ginger and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes. Add cashews and green chillies and continue cooking until the onions begin to brown. Add a cup of water and cook briefly. Allow the mixture to cool, then blend into a fine paste. In a fresh pan, heat oil and crackle the cumin. Add ginger garlic paste and sauté for about 3 minutes.
