Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil or vegetable oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
- 2 medium Sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
- 1 can Canned coconut milk
- 1 cup Vegetable stock
- 1 cup Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained if canned)
- 0.5 cup Cashew nuts (raw, unsalted)
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Heat the coconut oil in a large, deep skillet or pot over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper (if using), and stir well to coat the onions in the spices.
Add the cubed sweet potatoes to the skillet, followed by the coconut milk and vegetable stock. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, stir in the pineapple chunks and cashew nuts. Simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Season the korma with salt and stir in the fresh lime juice for brightness.
Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve the Sweet Potato and Pineapple Korma hot, over cooked basmati rice or with warm naan, if desired. Enjoy!
