Blanch the broccoli florets and keep aside. 

Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a pan, then lightly sauté the prawns (if using) and the broccoli florets. Remove and set aside.

In the same pan, heat the remaining oil, add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

Add chopped onions and saute until soft and lightly golden. Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add the cashew paste, tomato puree, salt, sugar and the dry spice powders. Cook until the oil begins to separate.

Add the potatoes and water. Simmer until the potatoes are almost tender.

Add the prawns and broccoli florets and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the florets are just tender but still green and the prawns are cooked through.

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with paratha or steamed rice, accompanied by a light cucumber salad.
