Description
A luxurious, vegan Indian-inspired curry featuring tender cabbage melting into a rich coconut and almond butter sauce with warming spices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons almond butter or cashew butter
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil (avocado or vegetable)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 lime, juiced
- 8 cups green cabbage, shredded very thinly
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 (13.5 oz) can full-fat coconut milk
- 2 teaspoons Kashmiri chili powder
- 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 8 oz ripe tomatoes, chopped (about 2 Roma)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1–3 serrano peppers, finely chopped
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped serrano peppers, sautéing for about a minute until fragrant.
- Add the shredded cabbage and salt. Cook for approximately 10 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the cabbage softens and begins to brown in spots.
- Stir in the tomato paste, Kashmiri chili powder, coriander, cumin, turmeric, and black pepper. Cook for 2 minutes to toast the spices.
- Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes until soft. Pour in the coconut milk, chickpeas, and almond butter.
- Simmer the mixture uncovered for 18-20 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and flavors meld.
- Remove from heat. Stir in the garam masala, lime juice, and fresh cilantro. Adjust salt to taste and serve warm.
Notes
Leftovers thicken in the fridge; add a splash of water when reheating.
