Soak cashews.

In a steamer ,place the carrots,beans,potatoes and pineapple and let them cook(make sure these are not over cooked and they retain the shape and colour). In another vessel add in the cauliflower in boiling water and boil for few minutes. Pressure cook the green peas.

To a pan add in 1tbsp butter and saute onions and tomatoes and keep aside. Once they get cooled grind them to a smooth paste. Transfer this to a bowl.  Now grind cashews and kuskus to a paste and set aside.
In the non stick pan again add in 1tbsp of butter and saute cashews, kismis  and paneer and all boiled veggies. To this transfer onion_ tomato paste and cashew paste and mix gently. Now add in masalas and salt and mix retaining the shapes of the veggies. At this point add in milk and saffron and give them a quick boil say 5mins on a high flame. Finally add in fresh cream and stir and switch off the flame.
