6. Heat 2 tbsp ghee in a pan, add 1 tbsp cashew nuts, and fry until pink. Put these cashews in a bowl and keep them aside.
7. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan, and add cauliflower, carrot, green peas, chilies, one piece of fried onion (birasta), turmeric, and salt. Close the lid and fry for about 3 minutes, then add the beans and mint leaves (one part) and fry for another minute or two.
8. Churn the curd well, add turmeric powder, ginger garlic paste, and 2 tbsp biryani masala, and prepare the mixture by stirring the curd well.
