Creamy vegetable korma

Tammy Fry

The ultimate vehicle for a colourful array of vegetables (vary the mix by season or as you choose), this rich and fragrant korma with tender cashews hits the spot every time.

Ingredients

Serves 4–6

TO SERVE

Method

  1. Heat the coconut oil over a medium-high heat in a heavy-bottomed pot. Add the onion and fry over a medium heat for 5–8 minutes, or until the onions just start to brown.
  2. Add the garlic and ginger then sauté on medium heat for 3–5 minutes. Add the cumin, garam masala, and turmeric, then sauté until the onion is caramelised.
  3. Add the sweet potato, cauliflower, pumpkin, capsicum, and chillies to the pot and stir over a medium heat for 2–4 minutes, until the vegetables are lightly coated with the spices. 
  4. Add the stock, coconut milk, coconut sugar, and lime juice, then bring to a simmer for 12–15 minutes, or until all the vegetables are cooked through. 
  5. Stir in the frozen peas and return to a simmer.
  6. Place the cashew nuts, sesame seeds, and yoghurt in a blender and blitz together to create a nut paste. Stir the nut paste into the korma and simmer for another 3–5 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste.
  7. Top with coriander, toasted cashews, and coconut flakes to serve.

TIP: Feel free to replace the veggies with any one-day-to-go vegetables you have left in your fridge.
