SRI LANKAN CASHEW CURRY
This creamy, mellow cashew curry recipe is often the one soothing element-besides rice, of course-in an otherwise fiery Sri Lankan meal.

Steps:
- Drain and rinse cashews; set aside. Heat coconut oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium. Add onion, garlic, and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and translucent, 5-7 minutes.
- Add curry powder, turmeric, paprika, and 1¼ tsp. salt to pot and cook, stirring to coat aromatics, until toasted and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Add 1½ cups water to pot, scraping up any browned bits stuck to bottom with a wooden spoon. Stir in coconut milk and reserved cashews and bring just to a boil. Reduce heat so mixture is at a rapid simmer and cook, stirring occasionally and adjusting heat as needed, until cashews soften slightly and liquid is reduced by two thirds, 25-35 minutes. Remove from heat and let cashew curry sit 10 minutes (sauce will continue to thicken as it cools). Squeeze in lime juice; taste and season with more salt if needed.
- Cook's Note: Don't stress over the texture of the cashews. After their overnight soak and simmer, they'll be plenty soft-and you can't really overcook them.
