Pumpkin Cashew Curry
Pumpkin Cashew Curry! This 30 minute vegan curry is the perfect quick hearty dinner. Pumpkin chunks are simmered in a rich curry cashew cream.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
For the curry cashew cream:
- 1 ½ cups water
- ½ cup raw cashews (see notes)
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon turmeric
For the curry:
- 1 tablespoon light oil (such as canola or vegetable)
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 inch piece fresh ginger peeled and minced
- 1 small pumpkin (about 1000g when peeled, seeded, and cut into 1 - 2 inch cubes)
- 2 cups vegetable broth
Optional garnishes:
- 1 handful cilantro, roughly chopped
- 1 handful roasted cashews
Instructions
- For the curry cashew cream: add everything to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- For the curry: add the oil to large pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add the onion, garlic and ginger, then sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion turns translucent and begins to brown. Add the pumpkin, vegetable broth and curry cashew cream. Cover, bring to a simmer and cook for 8 - 10 minutes until the pumpkin is fork tender.
- Use an immersion blender in the pot to purée about ⅓ of the curry leaving lots of pumpkin chunks. Serve with rice or naan and garnish with cilantro and/or roasted cashews.
Notes
*If you do not have a high-powered blender such as a Blendtec or Vitamix, soften the cashew first. To soften the cashews, add the cashews to a medium pot and cover with water. Boil for about 10 minutes until the cashews are tender. Drain and rinse with cold water.
