Instructions
To make the Green Chutney
- In a food processor add a bunch or fresh coriander, some mint leaves, lemon juice, cumin powder, salt and half avocado. Blend until smooth.
To make the Curry
- Sautee in a bit of oil and water finely chopped onions, garlic, ginger, celery, carrots, parsnips until softened.
- Add all the spices except for salt and coconut sugar at this point. Cook for 3 minutes.
- Add tomato paste or tomato passata or chopped tomatoes. Cook for another 3 minutes.
- Add cashew cream (blend soaked cashews and water).
- Add some coconut milk, too. Cook for another 3 minutes. If happy with the consistency add the butter beans, if it's not creamy enough at this point, use an immersive blender before adding the beans.
- Optional: add some raw whole cashews for some crunchiness. Add salt, coconut sugar, some lemon juice and cook for another 5 minutes or so.
- Serve with brown rice and green chutney / or just some chopped fresh coriander.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- To make the cashew cream make sure cashews have been soaked over night or at least 4 hours in hot water. As an alternative ground cashews can be used in combination with coconut cream.
