Coconut Korma

rwpfenni

Korma is a classic northern Indian sauce that has many varieties. The creaminess can come from yogurt, cream, or blended nuts. Here, we use cashews to create a creaminess with much less saturated fat than its cream (malai) counterparts.

Serves 6


Ingredients

1 TB vegetable oil

1 large onion, chopped

2.5 TB ginger-garlic paste


6 ounce can of tomato paste

1 TB each:

curry powder

garam masala

1.5 tsp each:

cumin

coriander

turmeric

cardamom

Ā½ tsp each:

ground cloves

ground fennel seeds

ground fenugreek seeds

chili flakes


1 can reduced fat coconut milk

Ā½ cup cashews

2 tablespoons lemon juice


1. Add the oil and onions to a heavy bottom pan and allow to saute until soft (~5 mins).

2. While the onions are cooking add together the tomato paste and all of the listed spices.

3. Add ginger-garlic paste to the onions and cook for 2 more minutes.

4. Add the tomato-spice mixture to the onions and mix well. When the spices are fragrant and the tomato starts to caramelize (1-2 minutes) add the coconut milk, cashews, lemon juice, and 1 1/4 cups of water. Stir well and let the mixture boil for 5 minutes to soften the cashews.

5. Working in batches, blend the curry until it is smooth and then add it back to the pot. Add salt to taste - you may want to add water to the desired thickness as well.

You can try pairing this with marinated grilled chicken or, as below, we've paired the korma with eggplant kofta and Indian-spiced basmati rice:
