This curry has become a mid-week staple using a variety of colourful seasonal ingredients. Soaking the cashews for a few hours gives a creamier consistency to the finished dish. I like the convenience and sweetness of frozen peas but red kidney beans or chickpeas would be good too. I serve it over brown rice with poppadoms or flatbreads.
