I had a huge boneless leg of lamb in my freezer that needed to be used (the remainder of which I ended up braising) and next thing I knew it was thawing in the fridge and I was researching how to make the perfect lamb korma. But when you wipe dairy from your diet yet still crave creamy, comforting sauces, cashews tend to make an appearance.Īnd it was while making a cashew cream sauce for pasta recently when the idea to make lamb korma at home popped into my head. Up until recently, I hadn’t made korma at home. There’s just something about the cashew based sauce and it’s creaminess that consistently won me over. When it came to picking the main course, it was always a toss up between the tandoori my mom seemed to prefer, the curry my had often got and the korma.īut for me, the korma always won out. Most kids grow up liking chicken fingers and french fries for their meals out. I loved every course of those meals from the mango lassi to start to the puffy poori bread appetizer, my korma dinner and then the star of the meal, the orange or mango kulfi for dessert. I’ve told the story a few times before on here so I won’t go into detail again but it did result in us going out for Indian food every month or so growing up.

Serve with white rice and you’ll be transported to your favorite Indian restaurant! The lamb is marinated in yogurt (we’re using a dairy-free coconut yogurt in this recipe) that results in tender pieces of meat that practically melt in your mouth. Srsly now.This lamb korma is an easy classic Indian dish made with aromatic spices and a creamy cashew based sauce.
Cashew sauce full#
If you are a clever vegan or just a general cashew sauce lover and you already do something amazing with cashew sauce that I have not thought of, I am expecting a full report in the comments. That’s 5 minute cashew sauce, my friends!

So when the internet started teaching me that this was a thing – cashews? in a sauce? – even as a dairy lover, I became totally enchanted by the idea of something so creamy and wonderful being nothing more than simple CASHEWS. Soooo, like, why are we still here right now?įlip back through a few posts and you will see the blazing truth: I like dairy-based cream sauces a lot. This is a luscious vegan cashew sauce that can sub for just about anything thick and creamy and dairy-based that you might need in a recipe… and it can be made in five minutes. Wait, not vegan? Me neither. CARRY ON EVERYONE. That right there is a big bowl of wonderful that is going to change your vegan life.
