  • 1 tsp salt (for the brine)<\/span><\/li>
  • \u00bd medium onion, diced<\/span><\/li>
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped<\/span><\/li>
  • 2\u00bd tsp Sri Lankan curry powder<\/span><\/li>
  • \u00bc tsp turmeric powder<\/span><\/li>
  • \u00bd tsp cayenne pepper<\/span><\/li>
  • \u00bd tsp sugar<\/span><\/li>
  • 8 curry leaves (or 1-2 dried bay leaves as a substitute)<\/span><\/li>
  • 1\u00bd cups good-quality coconut milk<\/span><\/li>
  • 1 cup frozen peas (adjust according to preference)<\/span><\/li>
  • Salt to taste<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

    Instructions<\/span><\/h3>

    1. Place the cashews in a bowl and cover them with room-temperature water.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    2. Add 1 tsp salt, stir to dissolve, and let soak overnight (up to 24 hours).<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    3. Once ready to cook, drain and set aside.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    4. Heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil (coconut oil preferred) in a medium saucepan over medium heat.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    5. Add diced onion and saut\u00e9 until translucent.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    6. Stir in chopped garlic and curry leaves (or bay leaves) and saut\u00e9 until fragrant.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    7. Add the soaked and drained cashews to the pan.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    8. Sprinkle in turmeric, curry powder, cayenne pepper, sugar, and a generous pinch of salt.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    9. Pour in the coconut milk and mix everything well.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    10. Cover the saucepan and simmer for 45-50 minutes, stirring occasionally. Ensure there\u2019s enough liquid; add water if necessary.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    11. Taste and add salt as needed.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    12. If the gravy is too thick, add \u00bd cup of water to adjust the consistency.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    13. Stir in frozen peas and cook for an additional 10 minutes until the peas are heated through and the gravy is simmering.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    14. Serve the cashew curry warm with steamed rice or flatbreads.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

    15. This curry can be prepared in advance and tastes even better the next day. Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ol>
