Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Mortar & Pestle to crush the cardamom
  • Hand Blender

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 large white onion
  • ½ tbsp fresh ginger minced
  • ½ tbsp fresh garlic minced
  • 2¼ + ⅔ cups full-fat, canned coconut milk
  • ¼ cup raw cashews
  • cup cauliflower finely chopped
  • cup white potatoes uncooked, peeled, finely chopped
  • cup carrots finely chopped
  • 4 small green cardamom lightly crushed
  • 1 large whole brown cardamom
  • 1 large bay leaf
  • 2 small whole cloves
  • 1 inch whole cinnamon stick
  • tsp turmeric powder
  • tsp Indian red chili powder
  • ½ tsp garam masala
  • ¾ tsp pink salt add more as needed
  • ¼ tsp coriander powder
  • tsp cumin powder

Instructions
 

  • Heat up the avocado oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  • Add in the onion, garlic and ginger. Stir for a few minutes, until the onions are translucent.
  • Add in the coconut milk, cashews, veggies and remaining spices over low heat. Cover the pot for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to let the potatoes cook.
  • Covering the pot with a lid to avoid splattering everywhere, use a hand blender to blend the mixture until the mixture is mostly smooth, with small chunks of veggies for texture.
  • Stir in the green cardamom, bay leaf, cloves, brown cardamom and cinnamon stick.
  • Let it cook for 5 minutes, covered, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove from heat. Let it sit, covered, for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
  • Then remove the cinnamon stick, whole brown cardamom, bay leaf and green cardamom.
  • To thin it out, add in some boiling hot water or vegetable broth, until it reaches the desired consistency. Adjust the seasoning as desired.
  • Serve over rice, with naan or your choice of grains. Enjoy!
