Wow! Most successful curry I've ever made. This recipe is a keeper. A couple of tweaks. I'm in Aus, so substituted half n half with a mix of skim milk and light cream. Added some brussels sprouts that I had in the fridge. One word of caution...make sure your potatoes are well cooked before you add them to the sauce. Even though they simmer, it doesn't seem to be enough to cook them through. BUT, even with slightly crunchy potatoes this curry is a winner!

The combination of ground cashew and cream made this korma very nice. I ground the cashews with some water in my food processor to make a cashew paste which I feel brings out the cashew taste even more. Instead of using so many carrots, I used one carrot and some cauliflower and mushrooms (I think peas would really suit this dish too). My husband loved it, definitely worth a try!
