Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Vegan Butter Bean Curry
- Soak the cashews in hot water for at least 15 minutes. Meanwhile, chop the onion, garlic, ginger, and fresh tomatoes.
- In a non-stick pan, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the pressed ginger and minced garlic to the pan, cooking for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the spices: garam masala, turmeric, cumin, coriander, curry powder, and a pinch of cinnamon. Stir well for about 1-2 minutes.
- Mix in the chopped fresh tomatoes and tomato paste, cooking for 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes soften.
- Pour in the vegetable stock, stirring to combine, and allow to simmer, covered, for about 12 minutes.
- Blend the soaked cashews with a few ladles of the curry sauce until smooth.
- Rinse and drain the butter beans, then fold them into the pan with the blended cashew cream, cooking on low for about 5 minutes.
- Season the curry with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with chopped coriander and sesame seeds.

Notes
Soaking cashews is crucial for achieving a creamy texture. Monitor the dish's thickness and adjust with more stock or coconut milk as needed.
