Ingredients

  • 1 medium potato
  • 1 medium sweet potato
  • 1 courgette - zucchini
  • 1 carrot
  • 2 cups green peas
  • 1 small cauliflower - 6 small florets
  • 2 onions
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 1 tomato
  • 1 inch ginger
  • 3 green cardamom seeds
  • ¾ tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • ¼ tsp chilli powder
  • tsp cinnamon powder
  • 3 cloves
  • 6 black pepper corns
  • 2 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 1 can full fat coconut milk
  • cup soaked cashews
  • 1 green chilli
  • 1 and ½ tsp salt - or to taste
  • 5 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
  • 2 tbsp almond flakes

Instructions

  • Dice the onions and tomato. Crush the ginger and garlic. Sauté the onions, ginger and garlic until onions in a bit of coconut oil until tender. Do not let onions go brown though! We need the korma sauce as yellow as possible :)
  • Add the tomato and a bit water, sauté 5-7 minutes until tomato melts. Add soaked cashews. Blend the sauce with a soup blender or in a jug blender.
  • Now add the spices: cardamom, turmeric, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, chilli powder, cloves, black pepper corns, salt coconut sugar, coconut milk and chopped green chilli.
  • Cut the carrot in 1 cm slices and potatoes and sweet potato in 8 equal-sized pieces. Add carrots to the sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Add the potato, sweet potato and a bit of water. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Cut the cauliflower into small florets and add it to the pot with a bit more water. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Cut the courgette in 1 cm slices (do not peel) and add as well. Add the green peas. Simmer 10 more minutes, until all veggies are tender. Don't stir too much or veggies will fall apart.
  • Cashews and coconut milk should make your korma sauce thick and creamy.
  • Serve with green pea rice (just boil some rice and green peas together) or vegan naan bread (get some from your local Asian shop :)) Garnish with almond flakes and chopped fresh coriander prior to serving.
