String Bean and Cashew Curry
Author: Nikki
Recipe type: Mains
Ingredients
- 2-3 tablespoons of oil
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- 2-3 bay leaves
- 2 large onions finely chopped
- 4-5 teaspoons crushed garlic (I love my garlic!)
- 1 heaped tablespoon crushed ginger
- 1 tablespoon of chilli paste (more if you like it hot)
- 2 cans chopped tomato
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- 1 tablespoon garam masala
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 4 teaspoons turmeric powder
- 1 cup soaked cashews (alternatively; raw peanuts for crunch)
- 250g string beans, trimmed and cut in halves
Instructions
- Heat the oil and toss through the cinnamon sticks, cloves and bay leaves. Once fragrant add the onion and brown over a medium heat. (The darker the onion, the darker your sauce but do not burn your onion)
- Once your onions are nice and brown, add the garlic, ginger and chilli and stir through over a medium heat
- Add the tomato and stir through
- Add the spices and stir through after each one; coriander, garam masala, cumin and turmeric
- Add cashews and gently heat through, covered but with the lid slightly ajar
- Add the string beans just before serving and heat through. You want these to be warm and crunchy
- Remove cinnamon sticks and serve with rice and diced tomato and cucumber
