    Why This Recipe Works 

    This recipe is the perfect comfort food for the whole family! It’s very mild, so it’s great for kids or people who aren’t into spicy food. 

    We love eating it with a side of rice or naan bread. It comes together in less than 30 minutes, so it makes a great and easy weeknight dinner. 

    Cauliflower, peas, green beans, potatoes, and carrots are the perfect vegetable mix for this creamy Indian dish. I usually use frozen peas and beans to make things a bit easier. 

    The sauce is a combination of cashews, diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, ginger, and lots of spices. Many recipes tell you to just puree all of the ingredients, but I prefer to first sauté the onion, the garlic, and the ginger, and then add the spices and cook it for another minute until fragrant. 

    This way the flavor will be much more intense. The combination of cashews and canned coconut milk make the sauce incredibly creamy. Cashews are the perfect base for creamy sauces! 

    Curry powder, turmeric, garam masala, cinnamon, and cardamom will add a ton of flavor to the sauce. 

    What Goes Into This Recipe 

    ingredients that go into this recipe on a marble countertop with labels

    • Coconut Milk – I use full-fat canned coconut milk. You can use light coconut milk for a lighter version. 
    • Green Beans and Peas – I use frozen beans and peas to make things easier. 
    • Cashews – unsalted and unroasted. 
    • Canned diced tomatoes – do not drain. 

    How To Make This Recipe 

    Before you start with this recipe: soak the cashews for 1 hour in boiling water from the tea kettle.

    1. Step: Cut the carrots into half moons, the cauliflower into small florets, and the potatoes into medium-sized cubes. Cook the potatoes for 5 minutes in boiling water. Then add the remaining vegetables and cook them for another 5 minute. 

    2. Step: Finely chop the onion, the garlic, and the ginger. 

    3. Step: In a large pan, heat some oil and sauté the onion for 3 minutes until translucent. Then add the garlic and the ginger and cook for 2 more minutes. 

    4./ 5. Step: Next, add the spices and cook for another minute until fragrant.

    7. Step: Process until smooth.

    Recipe Notes

    • Don’t leave out any of the spices. They’re necessary for the perfect flavor! 
    • If you want a lighter version of this dish, you could replace the coconut milk with plant-based coconut yogurt. Just make sure it’s unsweetened. 
    • Feel free to switch up the vegetables. Sweet potatoes and broccoli are also great in this vegetable korma! Or you could use chickpeas instead of peas.

    Yes, you can easily double the recipe and freeze it for later. It freezes really well. Just make sure it has cooled completely before freezing it.

      My absolute fav veg curry recipe! It is so tasty & a total winner with my kids too as there is no ‘heat’ from the spices, just loads of flavour. Thanks very much!

      I set out this morning with vegetable korma for supper and hit the pot of gold with your recipe. Fortunately I had every single ingredient except garam masala so I used some more of my curry mixture instead. The flavor is divine! It’s so flavorful and creamy; you’d think we used cream.
      Didn’t wait for garnishes, it was so good. Thanks!
