1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tbs turmeric powder
Black pepper
6 fresh curry leaves
1 stick lemongrass, white part only
1 tsp salt
½ cup roasted cashews
YELLOW CURRY
1/3 cup coconut or rice bran oil
400ml can coconut milk
2 tbs kecap manis or dark soy or tamari
1 tsp fish sauce (vegan substitute with miso paste)
1 tbs coconut syrup
2 tsp SuperFeast Ashwagandha

2 stalks of kale, chopped
200g cherry tomato, cut in half

Method

Step 1

For curry paste, chop ginger, garlic, chili and lemongrass into smaller pieces and put in a high speed blender along with the rest of the curry paste ingredients

Step 2

Add ½ cup water and blend to a smooth paste (a few minutes, scraping down blender). Add more water if needed but only small amounts at a time

Step 3

Heat a large heavy-based saucepan to medium-low. Add oil and once hot add curry paste, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon so it doesn’t stick. Cook for a couple of minutes

Step 4

Add coconut milk and 400ml water. If any curry paste has stuck to the bottom of the pan just scrape it with the wooden spoon

Step 5

Add soy/tamari, fish sauce/miso, coconut syrup, Ashwagandha and vegetables and cook for 15 minutes

Step 6

Add tamarind and coriander. If sauce is too loose then cook for another 10 mins. If too dry then add more water to your desired consistency

Step 7

Serve with rice, extra coriander and coconut yoghurt.
