Stewed root vegetables in a velvety gravy made from cashews and coconut milk makes a wonderful Fall comfort food dish that is warming, indulgent and healthy all at the same time. The cashews make the sauce and add a delicious crunch to this dish. Our Kala Masala spice blend adds another layer of rich sweetness and toasty flavor. Coconut, star anise, cinnamon and clove. Perfect for fall and winter vegetables. Serve this up with basmati rice or naan and you wont miss the meat in this vegan meal.

Carefully pour into a blender and puree until smooth, then set aside. For the Veggies: In a medium pot, add the potato, sweet potatoes, one and a half cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt. Cook for 8 minutes on medium high heat.
