Cashew Curry

Here’s another great Sri Lankan curry that is vegan, but very filling and satisfying. This curry’s main source of protein happens to come from cashews and green peas. They are simmered in coconut milk with curry powder and other spices such as turmeric and cayenne. This is another curry where the gravy is so good that you’d want to carry around a thermos filled with it. You know; drinkable curry gravy.
