Description
I had my first massaman curry in my favourite Thai restaurant; it was the only bad dish I ever had there! They forgot the tofu (for the vegetarian version) and added it raw, the whole dish was bland and insipid. I gave it another go in a vegan restaurant (Saf, London) and it was delicious. This is my take on it, I used cashews for healthy protein. There are lots of ingredients, but apart from the rice it’s a one pot dish. My version is rich, creamy, spicy, aromatic and the most delicious!

Instructions
Put the cashew nuts in a cup and pour in boiling water to just cover them
Splash some vegetable oil in a large saucepan so it just covers the bottom, add the onion and salt, sitr and sweat on the lowest heat for about ten minutes until softened
Add the garlic, જગાડવો
આદુ ઉમેરો, જગાડવો
Add the turmeric, coriander, cumin, dried chilli flakes and give another good stir and grind in some black pepper
Add the tamarind and water
Add the potato pieces so they start to absorb the flavours, followed by the chopped tomatoes
Add a little more water to loosen if necessary
Add the coconut milk and stir
Allow to come slowly to the boil and simmer for about 30 minutes until the potatoes have softened
(Now is the time to put on some ચોખા if required)

Just before serving add the peanut butter, half of the lime juice and the agave nectar.
