For an extra layer of flavor, toast the whole cashews before blending them into the cream. This will bring out their natural sweetness and add a nutty depth to the curry. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to control the spice level. Start with a smaller amount and add more to taste. Garnish with extra cilantro, lime wedges, and a sprinkle of chopped cashews for a beautiful presentation. Serve hot with basmati rice, naan bread, or both!
