    CASHEW NUT CURRY


    Source of Recipe


    adapted from a Sri Lankan recipe by Charmaine Solomon

    Recipe Introduction


    We love this one and serve it with a variety of raitas, etc., and with of
    course rice!

    List of Ingredients




    250 g. / 1 lb (approx.) raw cashews, soaked overnight,drained.
    2 cups thin coconut milk
    1 medium onion, chopped
    3 or more fresh green chillies, finely chopped
    1/2 tsp ground turmeric
    2 or 3 cloves garlic, chopped
    1 tsp grated fresh ginger
    5cm / 2-inch stick cinnamon
    2 strips lemon zest or 1 stalk lemon grass
    10 curry leaves
    salt to taste
    1 cup thick coconut milk

    Recipe



    Put all ingredients except the nuts into a large pan
    and bring to the boil, turn heat down and simmer
    *uncovered* for about 10 minutes.

    Add cashews and simmer for another 30 minutes. Cashews
    should now be tender - if not, simmer a little longer.

    Add thick coconut milk and simmer until all heated through.

    NOTE: Depending on the size and shape of your pan and
    the heat of your stove you may find that you need more
    liquid (doubtful). If so, add more coconut milk or
    water (to make up for the evaporation), but remember
    you are adding more coconut milk at the end.

    This will serve 4.
