Hi everyone! Here is a delicious dish I made last week!  Cashew Nut Curry (from Vegetarian Pleasures by Jeanne Lemlin, copyright 1986) Serves 4 2 tablespoons oil 1 medium size onion, diced 1/2 red chili, seeded and minced, or 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper 1 tsp. turmeric 1 tsp. ground coriander 1/4 tsp. ground cardamom 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 tsp. minced gingerroot 1 cinnamon stick ( I sprinkled cinnamon powder in instead, fyi) 1/2 tsp. salt 8 oz. raw cashews 2 medium size potatoes, peeled and diced (1/2 inch dice) 2 cups coconut milk 1. Heat the oil in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat and add the onion, chili, turmeric, coriander, cardamom, garlic, gingerroot and cinnamon. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. 2. Add all of the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, partially covered, for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the sauce is thickened. Serve alone or over rice. Enjoy! |
