How To Make Curry Sauce Thicker

You need quite a strong blender to properly break up the cashew nuts. Bring the sauce to the boil and cook until the required thickness before adding the other ingredients to the sauce (the Tandoori chicken). Add butter to taste to create the desired richness.

For the stir fry

1. 1 onion, sliced.
2. 1 yellow pepper, de-seeded, sliced into strips.
3. 1 red pepper, de-seeded, sliced into strips.
4. 3 tbsp chicken stock.
5. 2-3 tbsp light soy sauce.
6. 2 large spring onions, sliced.
7. 4 tbsp roasted cashew nuts.
8. sea salt and ground white pepper.

Cashew is very commonly used in Indian cuisine. The nut can be used whole for garnishing sweets or curries, or ground into a paste that forms a base of sauces for curries (eg. Korma), or some sweets. It is also used in powdered form in the preparation of several Indian sweets and desserts.

While cashew nuts are perfectly okay by themselves, they aren’t as healthy as almonds. So when you add them to desserts and dishes, just replace them with soaked almonds. Several Indian recipes call for cashew nut garnishes or pastes. Cut down on the quantities, and simultaneously introduce almonds to the recipes.

3. Coconut milk or Yogurt.
4. Cornstarch or Arrowroot powder.
5. Mashed potatoes.
6. Ground nuts.
7. Roux.
