Show me in those comments who loves Indian Food. Me, I do! I love Indian food, they have such a variety of dishes to try. I can honestly say that this Creamy cashew Indian Vegetable Curry is every bit as tasty as the one served at my favorite Indian restaurant here in town. This dish combines many flavors ranging from spicy and bold from the curry and turmeric, with some sweet and nutty flavors from the cashews. The final result is a deliciously thick and creamy curry full of complex flavors, and without the use of any dairy, cream or gluten.

Creamy Cashew Indian Vegetable Curry

My favorite part of this recipe is that I can easily make a double or triple batch of this recipe, use it throughout the week, and/or freeze some for leftovers another week.

Not only is this creamy cashew Indian vegetable curry super delicious, but it’s also loaded with nutrition, especially in the form of antioxidants from the wonderfully powerful curry and turmeric spices. In a nutshell, this dish contains high amounts of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds, vitamin C, vitamin B (B1, B6), vitamin K, iron, zinc, selenium, manganese, copper, magnesium, phosphorus, fiber, protein, and healthy fats.

What I also love about playing with curries in the kitchen, is they can be built upon, layer by layer simply by adding more curry powder and even mixing several different curry spice blends together. This dish is a favorite with both family and clients.

If you liked my latest curry dish, Yellow Split Pea Spinach Dahl then I know you will love this! Give it a try and let me know what you think :)
