Mushroom Cashew Korma

Korma is one of my favourite meals, and I finally decided to try my hand at making it at home, based on these two recipes and what I had in the kitchen.

Ingredients:

• 2t coconut oil
• 1 onion, sliced
• 2t crushed garlic
• 800g sliced mushrooms
• ½t cumin
• ½t coriander
• ½t turmeric
• 1 tin coconut milk
• 1 cup cashew nuts, crushed
• 1t honey (optional)
• salt and pepper to taste

Method:

1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a low heat, add the onion and cook covered for 5 minutes – until the onion is soft. Stir in the garlic, and cook for another 2 minutes.
2. Add the mushrooms and simmer covered until the mushrooms are soft – there should be about a cup of liquid in the bottom of the pan.
3. Stir in the spices, and simmer for another 5 minutes. Stir in the coconut milk, cashews and honey, repace the lid and simmer for another 10 minutes.

Serve with rice.
