STOVETOP COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
Build up the curry flavour by adding ingredients at various intervals of the cooking process. Cook the meats/veggies separately, then simmer in the sauce. Prepare the full sauce recipe and freeze any surplus in portions to suit your needs. Scroll down for information on cooking meats or vegetables.
- Gather all ingredients.
- Chop peeled onions to a purée consistency. About 45 seconds in a food processor or blender, set aside.
- Blend ginger, garlic, and cashews to a smooth paste. Use water as required from the total water amount in the recipe, set aside.
- Add oil and butter to a saucepan and let the butter melt and heat up.
- Add onion and cook until it turns light brown.
- Add the ginger/garlic paste and cook until the melted butter comes to the top.
- Add the spice mix sachet and cook on low flame until the melted butter comes to the top. If it sticks to the pan, add a little water from the total water amount in the recipe.

- Switch off the flame, stir well, and let it rest with the lid closed for 10 minutes.
