If you order it anyway, say this (Hindi)
काजू पेस्ट मत डालना, प्लीज़। कन्फर्म करें कि इसमें स्टार्च नहीं है। फुल-फैट क्रीम/दही और बिना चीनी के बनाना, और प्याज़ बिल्कुल बारीक कटा या पिसा हुआ होना चाहिए।
No cashew paste, please. Confirm no starch thickeners. Full-fat cream/yogurt, no added sugar, finely chopped or pureed onion.
Watch out for
Cashew paste, starch thickeners, hidden sugars, quantity of onions, low-fat dairy.
