Kurma is a creamy, mild curry from north Kerala, a Muslim version. Taught to me by my friend Shahid Sait. I asked him to make with sweet potato. His version is rich. Layered flavors and its thickened with coconut and cashew paste. —pauljoseph

Great recipe - method says add coconut milk - THERE IS NO COCONUT MILK in the ingredients!! How much do I add? Also failed to put coconut milk on my shopping list - v annoying!!

A stunning, wonderful dish! I love how well balanced the flavors are! Thank you for sharing.

[Just a note, there is a typo in the recipe calling for 1 tablespoon cashew nut paste and then 1 cup cashew nut paste again! I figured out that the 1 cup measurement was for coconut milk.]
