About Cashew Curry
Cashew curry is a Sri Lankan dish that Dini Kodippili recalls from family special occasions. This creamy family version includes peas, a variation the author distinguishes from cashew-only preparations.
Cashews and coconut milk give the curry its rich, nutty character. Onion, garlic, curry leaves and Sri Lankan curry powder add savoury spice, with turmeric and cayenne contributing colour and warmth.
The cashews are tender and creamy inside while retaining their shape. Peas sit among them in a thick coconut gravy, served warm with rice.
