Ingredients

Veggies:

  • 1 pound potatoes peeled and diced, Yukon Gold and red potatoes are my favorite ones for this recipe
  • 1 pound carrots peeled and diced
  • 1 pound cauliflower chopped into florets
  • 1 cup frozen peas

For the sauce:

  • 2 cloves of garlic peleed
  • ½ onion quartered
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger peeled
  • 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 1 14-ounce can full-fat coconut milk
  • ½ cup raw cashews

For the base:

  • 2 tablespoon vegan butter or oil
  • 1 tablespoon garam masala
  • 1 and ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼-½ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional

Instructions

  • Soak the cashews overnight. If you’re in a hurry, you can also let them soak in hot water while you cook all the remaining ingredients. Drain and set aside.
  • Add the veggies (potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, and peas) to a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
  • In the meantime, add all the sauce ingredients to a blender (garlic, onion, ginger, tomatoes, coconut milk, and soaked cashews) and blend until smooth. Set aside.
  • Add the vegan butter or oil to a large skillet and when it’s hot, add all the spices (garam masala, cumin, coriander, turmeric, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes). Cook over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Pour in the sauce and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Incorporate the veggies, stir, and cook for 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Serve your vegetable korma immediately with cooked basmati rice or vegan naan bread.
  • Keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. It can be reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop over medium heat until warmed through. Add a little water or vegetable stock if needed.

Notes

  • You can customize your vegetable korma recipe with any spices or veggies you want, such as green beans and bell peppers.
  • The best type of milk to make this recipe is coconut milk, but you could also use any other unsweetened plant milk, such as soy milk.
  • Canned diced tomatoes can be replaced by tomato puree or even by fresh tomatoes if you want (in that case, add some water if needed).
  • Feel free to omit the red pepper flakes if you’re not into spicy food.
