To make this cashew nut curry, start by soaking 1 cups of raw cashew nuts in water for at least 3 hours, or overnight. Drain and rinse the cashew nuts before using them.
To make a delicious cashew nut curry, you will need a large pot. Begin by adding one bowl of cashew nuts to the pot. Next, add 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon of curry powder, and 1 teaspoon of chili powder to the pot. Stir well to ensure that the cashew nuts are coated in the spices.
Next, add chopped onion, garlic, tomato, green chilies, and curry leaves to the pot. Season with a pinch of salt and pour in one bowl of water. Stir well to combine all the ingredients and cook for 5-6 minutes until fragrant.
Once the spices and vegetables have cooked for a few minutes, add cubes of carrot to the pot. Stir to combine everything together. Now, pour in one cup of coconut milk and stir well to ensure that the coconut milk is evenly distributed throughout the curry.
Bring the curry to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Allow the curry to simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the cashew nuts are tender and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
In a small pan, heat some oil over medium heat. Add mustard seeds, two finely chopped garlic cloves, and fry until the garlic turns translucent. Now, add three pieces of dry chili to the pan and fry for a little while longer.
Finally, add the contents of the small pan to the cashew nut curry and stir for another two to three minutes. This will help to infuse the flavors and spices of the mustard seeds, garlic, and chili into the curry.
Your delicious cashew nut curry is now ready to be served. Enjoy it with rice, naan, or any other side dish of your choice
