- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground garam masala
- 2 medium Tomatoes, finely chopped
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1 cup Water
- 1 large Carrot, peeled and diced

Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the ground turmeric, coriander, cumin, and garam masala. Stir well for 30 seconds to roast the spices.
Mix in the chopped tomatoes and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they break down and form a thick paste.
Add the coconut milk and water to the pan. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Add the diced carrot, potato, and cauliflower florets to the pan. Cover with a lid and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the green beans and frozen peas, and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender.
While the curry simmers, drain the soaked cashews and blend them into a smooth paste using a blender or food processor. Add a few tablespoons of water if necessary to help with blending.
Stir the cashew paste into the curry to thicken the sauce and make it creamy. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Season the curry with salt to taste, and adjust any spices if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or roti.
